P.E. Struggles
Physical Education is a class all middle schoolers must take, although most students don’t like, or struggle with the class.
P.E. is one of the five core classes, like science, math, I&S, and L&L. However, not only middle schoolers have to take P.E. Many high schools require students to take 2 years of the class.
“The mile and the pacer test are the things I struggle the most in P.E.,” said Andrea Paniagua.
April Hernandez agrees, “The pacer test, but not really the mile because the mile I mean it isn’t that bad.”
P.E is a really boring and hard subject if you aren’t athletic, but sometimes parents intervene to make things more fun, for example, the Zombie Run!
The Zombie Run is something we do at HMS where volunteers dressed as zombies are stationed around campus. Students try not to have the three flags that they have hanging off a belt taken away by the zombies. We run approximately ½ a mile and students actually enjoy running that way. The Zombie Run only happens once every year so, what do we do for fun aside from this in P.E?
Sometimes we play basketball, soccer, or go swimming. These things help make the class more interesting, but which of these do students enjoy the most?
“The thing I enjoy doing during P.E is badminton,” said 7th-grade student Edgar Lua.
P.E may be boring and unnecessary like many say, but teachers do try their hardest to make it fun.

I agree that p.e. is hard for students that are not athletic and that sometimes they can struggle in the subject. I also agree with you that teachers do try their hardest to make the subject as fun as possible and the most entertaining they can.
I think that this topic is pointless for a few reasons. First of all, PE is not at all a hard class and it is something that everyone has to do. People should not be struggling with things like the mile and pacer or other requirements in the class. Students should be more athletic and less lazy so that they don’t have to keep complaining about the class. PE is already the easiest class at the school and people shouldn’t complain about the requirements.
i Agree that PE can be a struggle thank you for writhing this story i believe others should read this story
I guess that gym is only fun if you like the unit you’re doing or if you have friends it’ll be more fun. I personally enjoy P.E but the people that I get put into P.E with make it way more fun and interesting.
I do agree that the pacer test is the most difficult. The units I do enjoy are badminton and volleyball.
