[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 606385, member: 3493"] Someone who is physically disabled can have adaptive PE put on to an IEP. Gym was my least favorite class in school and I think it's a joke. I've hard a very hard time instilling gym into my kids as well. difficult child did the quarter mile in 20 minutes. It turned out he has flat feet so since we switched him to New Balance sneakers, he's been better but gym was not his favorite thing, either. For your son, I would talk to the teacher and read the curriculum. It could be like in scouting. There, when you start the physical fitness merit badge, you do a baseline and then you are just judged on how you improve and not against other kids or a national standard. Of course, my easy child figured out that if you do miserably on your baseline test, you can appear to be amazing with just a small effort. And don't get me started on gym clothing. None of my boys would change in the locker room and baby boy is the only one who will wear gym class appropriate shorts. Fortunately, gym isn't counted in the GPA so as long as they pass with a D, I don't care. [/QUOTE]
