GYM PROBLEM! HELP!


Question Posted Saturday August 25 2007, 10:30 pm

Ok well i just got my timetable for high shcool and I got gym in the 2nd semester!

I know, you'd prob be thinking why it matters so much but it's just that I really suck at gym and in semester 2 they do track and field and stuff while in sem 1 its really easy like biking and jogging.

My parents are realyl intensed on my grades and I can't really pass gym because it's using your body.

Im not fat, i'm skinney and I try really hard but I suck at whatever i try and just always get a low mark.

Someone help me please?

Talk to your teacher/coach/whatever you guys call your gym teachers and tell them about how you're just not very good at stuff, and would like some extra help.

This will work as it did for me. As long as your claims are verifiable and you know you always will fail in gym because of physical reasons and can prove it's traumatic you can get out of gym for medical reasons related to pyschological impact.

You would need to see your family doctor and tell him/her what is going on and ask for a referal to a pyschiatrist (the note you need carries more impact this way).

This doctor will talk to you about the negative impact the classes have on you mentally as well as physically and can give you a letter exempting you from gym provided you get a gym, self-defense, exercise for yourself he and the school approve of outside their walls and monitor closely so you earn your gym credit that way and meet the rules.

You should talk to your gym teacher about it. Explain your situation & how you always get bad grades in gym class. If you tell them that you do try your best, they might go a bit easy on you. Ask for their grading system & what type of performance level they look for.

Just because you haven't had high grades in gym before, doesn't mean you can't now. You have to stay focused & work hard. Maybe you can try conditioning in your free time. If you are having a difficult time with track & field, ask your teacher or even other students in the class if they can help you out. Gym grades are based on effort, not talent.

If you really do not want to participate, which wouldn't be the best idea but still may be an option, talk with your guidance counsler about your situation. They might be able to give you another class to take to fill up that credit.

Also, explain to your parents how you really aren't good at gym class. They can give you some advice on what you should do. Talk to your gym teacher first though & get his/her opinion.

-hope that helped!♥
