Member Gym???
13/F
I told yawlz how much I hate gym, right? Well, it's a funny thing. The only fitness thing I do is: YOGA. I was thinking, is it possible to talk to my gym teacher and ask him if I can make a yoga type part of the class? I found out that, yes I must pass 'gym' to pass high school. Which in my opinion is a load of bull shit. Anyway, do you think I can convince my gym techer and principle to do this? I have almost 30 more peepz who agree with me on this. So, there'd not only be me doing yoga, but many others. Would a bunch of signartures work??? Please respond, ASAP!
p.s please no rudeness. I can't put up with it...

hey. yeah i think it's a good idea, at my school for the gym period people can do like yoga and workout tapes from the tv's, and they're gunna get DDR mats for us to do during gym.
basically they'll say yes to anything that fits with the budget and keeps people moving.
you might want to suggest that poeple could donate tapes, becuase you don't know how much extra money the school has for it.
hope i helped.

It's a good idea, I had a yoga class in highschool and I LOVED it, however, they would have to have a teacher who is certified to teach yoga, which means either hiring someone new, or one of their teachers pays for classes on how to teach it. Unless they already have someone. I say go for it, it can't hurt to try and I think it's a very good way to resolve your gym issue. :)

With a rational arguments, reasonable requests and enough people supporting you certainly might be able to get a few classes of Yoga through your school.
You might want to brainstorm some ways to pay for this though. If your gym teacher doesn't have any Yoga training they might need to bring someone else in to cover it. If you can get the interested students to agree to pay a small fee to assist with this, you'd be leagues ahead. Maybe speak to some instructors you know about what it would entail and how much it would cost for a gym class or two.
Also, check the curriculum for your school board. If you can tell them precisely where yoga connects (and it will connect to things like flexibility, cardio control and other key skills that will be listed in the physical education curriculum) you'll have a very persuasive argument.
Congrats on getting creative and solving your problem.

you can certainly try, but i honestly doubt that this will work. the gym teacher has a set curriculum (if you can call it that). the only reason he/she would be able to alter that is if part of the curriculum conflicted with a student's religion or personal beliefs, and then that would have to be handled through the parents. i doubt that a bunch of signatures would make your gym teacher do anything about it. because the thing is that you are at your gym teacher's mercy when it comes to these things. you have to pass that class at some point or you don't graduate. your gym teacher knows this and probably isn't going to make it any easier for you when the majority of kids that are in gym pass it with no problem. if you really feel like doing this, then by all means go ahead, but you might look back on it and think that your time could have been better spent actually trying to pass gym the normal way. instead of putting so much effort into getting out of gym, or trying to change your gym class to fit your needs, why don't you just put that effort into trying during gym class itself? it will pay off a lot more.
