Our gym teachers aren't even in the gym during class. My kids are always talking about how they are in their office (with a window to the gym) on their computers or out chit chatting in the hallway
I agree, kids need to learn that they don't always win and that there are those who are better than them at certain things. Crying and whining about it isn't going to change that, if you want to be better than make yourself better at whatever it is. I realize that is easier said than done, but its just how I feel.
The bolded caught my eye, I hope you were saying this tongue in cheek, but if not I see this kind of attitude as exactly why we have the kids with low self esteem because they don't get first picked on the team. When someone values "brains" over brawn its looked down on, and they get a rep for being a nerd and uncool and they end up being the kind of kids who are the last to be picked. Just an observation.
LOL definitely "tongue in cheek". I'm a life long nerd and have quite a few bumper stickers with "nerdy" catch phrases.
You absolutely right, I see enough girls "dumbing" themselves down not take it seriously. I forget that it's hard to tell humor on the web.
Sorry about that.
