Schools really don’t do gym anymore. I think the last time my kids had it was once a week, and I just didn’t see a point. It probably helps that my youngest is an athlete but what good does anyone get from once a week of screwing around?

We had different experiences, as did our kids. In the 70s/80s, we'd jog a mile everyday to start gym class. I was the wimpy kid, always picked second or third to last for a team. Sometimes last. :(

When I took my kids on a hike down to the creek summer before last, "A whole MILE!"

"Are you telling me a 52-yo man with emphysema can out walk you?!"

Best part? They were so much more fit, had no complaints walking to the creek by the end of that summer. Weird part? They didn't even notice.
