(110,159 posts)they left that after 6th grade. but oldest sons "pe" class is cross country and track. they strip down and shower. hadnt heard about covering in the shower. not in this area. i guess it is that ultra conservative florida, lol as opposed to texas,
when my oldest was in the 5th grade he had a first year pe teacher that worked the kids hard. my son was thin, geeky, articulate, academic, glasses. but it was a class he worked really hard in and excelled. son would tell me how the coach was getting it from the parents at how hard he was working the kids. and i am all that in support of the pe teacher. at the end of year son got an award for most progress. it was very nice the pe coach recognized son and it gave him a lot of confidence, which i appreciated.
i wrote that pe teacher a thank you note, stressing pushing the kids and what a good job he did ect....
son is now junior in high school, and on a cross country team that beats all, went to state and track team that gets them in the paper a lot. he is very much beyond that geeky little 5th grader. my son saw this coach (who was transferred out that 5th grade year) and the coach says.... i still have your moms email, thanking me.
aaaaahhhhh
so, yes, parents can fuck things up
