I am doing layout for a book thing in MS Publisher and my brain is going wonky trying to remember which pages back on each other in order to place black and white printed pages all together and color printed pages all together.

"Desperately need a nap" isn't a valid excuse for going home sick, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
However, I HATED HATED HATED it when it was a compulsory activity at school. It was awful then.
The thing is, there are a lot of gym sports that one can hate for various reasons. My gym teacher for my first three years of high school was the wrestling coach, so every year we wrestled for a couple of weeks. Not a lot of fun when you're one of the smaller kids in the class. There are also sports like basketball, where the good players can completely ignore the kids on the floor who were completely clueless about the sport, as I was. At least in dodgeball they'd actually throw the ball my way, even if there was a different motive. It really does depend on who is running the class.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
DX, you can't be saying that classes are as dependent on the instructor as on the material, can you?

I'm saying that a good instructor is better than a bad instructor. Doesn't just apply to gym.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Except, how does that fit in with the fact that those who can't teach, teach gym?

Miss Cross's* playground technique was to pick the two loudest-mouth kids. They were the team captains. Then everyone would line up against a wall and they'd take turns picking team members. Disparaging comments were not discouraged ("But I don't want the fat/slow/foureyes/stupid one!") It really wasn't pleasant. I don't think competition should be discouraged or that it has to be all touchy feely -must-cosset-the-pwecious-egos. But what we had was an extreme and a not very healthy one at that. And it did turn me off (in my youth) a lot of stuff.
But hey, it also taught me how to brutalize little souls, so score.
