School sports

Hvain a teen son who's loves some sprts at School and that I've been to watch him play brngs back the bad memoeries of my School sports.

Now was it always harder for girls in sports with male teachers or where they the same to boys too?

Did you have any good/ bed experinces?

Teachers that show favoritism is one thing - but none more damaging to self esteem than sports performance. On the plus side, relatively unathletic as a child, I will never forget the big cheer my HS gym teacher gave me when I won a 5k race...classic tortoise and hare race - all the "athletes" dropped out half way, I chugged through the whole way - and a runner was born...

@fun4us2b Wow well done to you, I'm sure that made you feel so good!!!

I found at my School the teachers pushed us harder than the boys

@milkymum1 😊 We had separate gym classes and teachers - so we never saw what the girls went through...

@fun4us2b some sports were mixed like tennis athletics swimming

@milkymum1 I can see how that could be a problem...

In my experience it was slightly the other way around. In general, going from various reports, I think boys have a much harder time at school than girls do. Many school still seem to have overtly misandristc school rules.
