the older i get the weirder it is that not a single p.e. teacher in my entire school career was able to recognize the difference between “a child who doesn’t get enough exercise” and “a child with serious health problems impeding their ability to exercise in this particular way”

[unpretty]

you know what else is weird? we had to do that fitness test every year but like… we never actually… learned how to do the things they tested us on…

like, now that i am an adult i have learned how to build up my strength so i can do pushups, but that seems like something they could have taught us? in school? in the class where they tested our ability to pushups? they never taught us how to work our way up to actually doing a chin-up, or whatever. even if i had just been “out-of-shape” (as a CHILD), nothing they did would have solved that problem. i did not learn how to exercise in a functional way until i was out of school and teaching myself, so i’m not sure what those p.e. classes were even intended to accomplish, really.

people are adding a lot of horror stories to this post that are really similar to mine (exercise-induced asthma, running the mile every friday, coughing nonstop for hours afterward and never actually getting any faster or building up any endurance, fainting at least once and not even getting sent to the nurse) but

to add something to the “really obvious shit any idiot could have told me” list

they taught us that the average walking speed should be 3mph, and i consistently tried on treadmills to walk at 3mph, and that always seemed really fucking fast to me and i never understood why

i’m 5′2″

i was in my twenties before i realized that i cannot go that fast because i have short fucking legs

why did grown-ass adults with eyes try to teach my short ass that i should be able to walk an easy mile in 20 minutes

[defydamage]

It’s like they say.

If you can’t do, teach.

If you can’t teach, be a gym teacher.

It never occurred to me until reading this notes the utter ridiculousness that PE teachers held all kids to the same benchmark standards for like number of pushups and sit ups, time of mile, etc. even though everyone is at a different level athletically and has different body types and heights

[shapehipster]

Um... They also follow BMIs. Literally fat shame people for having high BMIs. I used to be told all the time I needed to lose weight. I was 16, 5'1" and a size 5. Not fat by any stretch off the imagination but because I had an excessive amount of muscle mass from sports my BMI was high.

I practically killed myself trying to get down to 105... I weighed 132. I was not meant to weigh 105. Yet to this day, I'm a grown ass woman and I still get panicky thinking about BMI charts.

i have never seen “…fair enough.” so eloquently stated, and he did it with only his face.

People who wouldn’t perform abortions or treat trans patients should probably have chosen a different career

[shapehipster]

You know what... I work in the medical field and THIS is friggin disgusting. I not for one moment even think, consider, dream of treating someone poorly or not treating them based on this. When does it stop? I'm Lutheran and you're Catholic which yeah Lutheran is basically Catholic in denial BUT let's just not treat the person because our religious beliefs don't line up. These things are only the top of the iceberg when it comes to why he's a horrible human and even worse political leader.

Proposition: when one person has to cover a shift that is normally done by two people, they get paid double.  This is both to compensate them for working twice as hard, and to remove any temptation for management to think “hey, actually that wasn’t so bad, maybe we should do this more often.”

[bannableoffense-deactivated2018]

YES

[quixylvre]

Make the pay **more** than double for that one employee so that it’s more costly than hiring 2 people like they’re supposed to do in the first place
