TwoEdgedSword Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 What is public school P.E. like these days? Does it meet 5 days a week? For other p.s. highschool classes, do they all meet 5 days a week or do some meet less often? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Short answer from elliptical--it depends on the school, the district, and the state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Or high school uses a block schedule, so classes meet every other day for 90 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Short answer from elliptical--it depends on the school, the district, and the state. I agree. My local high school does PE twice a week. Math and LA is daily. The rest is not. Edited January 4, 2016 by Arcadia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Our high school has PE every day. No block scheduling. The next closest high school does block scheduling, but semester blocks, 95 min every day for a semester, so they would be meeting every day for PE too. Most of the kids I know in that district do PE in summer school so they don't have to give it that much time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoEdgedSword Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 What do they actually DO in P.E. now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Here they swim (indoor pool), use weight and cardio equipment, run on track or indoor gym, tennis, and other sports/games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It varies around here because schools can handle it differently, but it's just a regular class most of the time. Kids only need 1.5 credits though, so that's a year and a half, meaning that most kids will spend most of high school just not taking PE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBM Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm in Illinois. Our local public high school offers many choices for PE and, IIRC, a student attends daily. 10 different dance classes Strength training classes Yoga and core/pilates Yoga and self-defense Lifeguard training (one semester) Self-directed fitness programs overseen by gym teachers Lifetime sports and games: basketball, badminton, volleyball, football, soccer, etc. Outdoor ed: orienteering, kayaking, rock climbing, rappelling, camping, high ropes, back country cooking, search and rescue, etc. Team sports All students have to take one year of wellness, one semester of very detailed sex ed, and one semester of swimming. Kids who play sports can get out of the PE requirement except wellness and sex ed and they would have to pass the swim test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angela in ohio Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 My middle dd took PE at the PS (her choice, she's weird like that.) It was an hour (or 55 minutes, I guess) every day for half the year. They warmed up, ran, and then worked on sports skills, basically one sport every few weeks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
