To be completely honest, that quote is from Juno, and actually says Doctors are sadists, and while I agree, I also think that a few teachers apply to this statement even more. Some teachers fully get enjoyment out of watching the pain of watching their students RUN LAPS IN THE FREEZING COLD WEATHER IN SHORTS BECAUSE SWEATPANTS ARE FOR WIMPS.
To be specific, I hate my gym teacher. She's basically evil. Right now, we're training for the mile run. So basically, we go outside in shorts (because Sweatpants Are For Wimps, yet she wears them) and tee shirts, and run in circles in around 40 degree weather while she watches in her toasty warm sweats and shouts to put a little more hustle into it. I swear, the next time she tells me to "Run faster Lynch!" (THAT'S NOT EVEN MY LAST NAME!) I will stop, turn around, and punch her square in the face. I honestly don't care HOW much trouble I get into. Last time we ran in gym, it left my knees popping and cracking all day, and it was incredibly painful.
I'm not going to lie here. I DESPISE gym class. I LOATHE gym class. I DETEST gym class with every fragment of my being. It's such a competition. I *know* I'm not a fast runner. That's why I like to run alone. Because I don't have to worry about my times or how fast I run or how high my knees are (CURSE YOU GYM TEACHER!). But it's so competitive in class. It really infuriates me. I am fully not coordinated. I'm not good at soccer, or basketball, or football, or baseball. I'm not a fast runner, and I have little to no hand-eye coordination. I frequently trip over things, miss the ball, and let in goals. But it's really not my fault. I'm just not coordinated enough for those things! I can't handle keeping track of a stick, a ball, and my own two feet. The latter being most important to me. Gym class makes me feel so awkward. I think that we should have a dance unit. Or something like Ropes Course 101. Or WALKING. We should have an entire unit on walking. I could walk for HOURS and never get bored. Why can't we have like "Gym Class For Dummies" or "Gym For The Athletically Lacking"?!
This is really all I ask.

I'm sorry gym class sucks, what kind of teacher makes you run forever and just stands there? A good teacher would ATLEAST run with you guys and by the way, tell her she should know that running in shorts in that kind of weather is very bad for the muscles, muscles should be warm when exersizing them hmmmm I don't know about her and LINK doesn't seem like a hard name to remember I'm frustrated for you anyway and your right about competition-it's just not for everyone ok I feel better just getting that out....talk to ya soon
