Why would you hate PE? [I Hated Physical Education Class]

Oh it was quite the opposite for me. I loved PE! Now im not at all athletic in any way but I did enjoy the welcome break in the school day of being outside playing rounders on the fields with the grass between my toes or the fun and enjoyment of a game of badminton and the delicate precision of an hours gymnastics. All better than studying in regular clas.

When I was at primary school (5-11), I enjoyed PE very much. When I got to secondary school, the competitive aggro, the forced excercises over high wall bars and up ropes as well as the awful experiences on the rugby field caused me to loath the whole subject with everything in my being. The teachers were unsympathetic and corporal punishment was the penalty for failure. 😡

It took me years to get over it and to discover that some PE teachers actually care about their students. I have enjoyed sports a little since, but there is a lasting scar.

@Frank52 Sorry to hear that. Such a shame that your experience made you resent sports
