[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 606418, member: 11791"] But here... unless you are really athletic, PE is automatically a place to get humiliated. I lived it. My kids have lived it, too. Everything is about competition and put-downs. And the humiliation spills over from the PE class through the whole school. I have never - ever - seen a PE curriculum done in such a way as to accommodate those who "appear" normal but really can't keep up. And nobody... NOBODY... understands the incredible effort involved for some of us. Is it fair, really, to ask for 10 basketball passes... from the kid who has to put 10x the effort into every single pass, and by the 5th one can't even get the brain to tell the hands what to do? The philosophy is, if you can throw 1, you can throw 10... all you need is practice. So, the poor kid spends ALL his mental energy on a stupid PE class... and then can't focus the rest of the day on math and English and science. And THAT is fair? I have NEVER seen an IEP accommodate fatigue, neuromotor difficulties, pain, or any other invisible disability where the person is "partly able". [/QUOTE]
