I had to take gym the whole time, I'm pretty sure, with a swimming requirement, which actually sucked, due to the 80s hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, lord, I'm glad we didn't have a swimming pool. I shudder at the thought. I think our PE was pass/fail or something. It didn't figure into our GPA, in any case.

We had gym as a graded class, too. The wording made me think that's not what the kid was talking about though.
We had the same. There were tests and stuff though, not just shooting free throws.
I think he means that the fact he ran track instead of doing homework should have gotten him a better GPA.

Well, that's certainly the way TDS spun it; dunno if it's true.

I wore my hair long and straight in high school, so hair was not an issue. And swimming was the ONE athletic thingie that I didn't either hate or feel self conscious about.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
We had to take gym all 4 years, including swimming, and had to pass it, but I don't believe it affected our GPA. Every semester we had to do swimming, track and weight-lifting (I hated the latter two with a passion because of the combination of exertion and monotony) and then did assorted other activities based on weather and grade level (softball, football, dodgeball, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, ice skating/hockey, bowling, etc.)
Girls didn't do football, wrestling, hockey or bowling and instead had aerobics, archery, (for some reason, the school thought giving weapons to teenage boys would be a really bad idea. Can't imagine why) badmitton and tennis.

Back in my day ::waves cane:: gym counted like any other class towards your GPA, a fact which I'm still bitter about, since without it I'd have had a much better shot at valedictorian.

Aillean, I think you got your "s" and "i" swapped up on that post.
