[QUOTE="Andy, post: 162006, member: 5096"] My easy child's school allowed the kids to get phy ed credits through non-school fitness programs - If she went to a gym a certain times a week and worked out, the school would accept that. Have you talked to your daughter about why she doesn't want to go to gym? When I was in middle school/high school, I could not handle the locker room - the noise level was too hard and I did not believe anyone should be changing clothes in front of anyone else or showering together - disgusting. One of those we teach our kids that privacy is private and then throw them into a locker room saying "you are all the same, just change clothes and shower". Totally wrong in my books. I don't know how my parents did it (am even surprised they didn't tell me to get over it) but I was given the opportunity to wait until the locker room was empty before showering and changing. I think because I did have extra sensitive hearing - didn't take much noise to give me a headache or earache. Explain to her that just making an effort in the daily tasks will give her a passing grade - they can not fail someone for not being able to do something - but they do look at effort. Then, if the locker room itself is the problem (is she being harrassed?) ask if she can wait until everyone leaves to change and shower - or if that is the last period of the day, send home to change and shower. I also remember that locker time was usually unsupervised - without an adult present, kids can get very mean in locker rooms. [/QUOTE]
