But physical education sucks. It was great in elementary when we ran around and played and did shit in the gym. But later in school, it turned into physical education and then it started to suck, with non-gym classes and written tests, getting marked on team sport skills that you never learned, and the guys who would puff out their chests and have cock-slapping fights.

here in Ontario, when I was in highschool (several years ago) we only had to have one PE credit to graduate, so all you had to do was take grade 9 general PE (and you could take this g9 class even if you are in 10 11 or 12), and that's that. But the thing is, when you pick your courses, the fuckheads that allocate class sizes and so forth end up fucking things up so you can't get classes you want and get stuck with dumb bullshit for half the classes in order to have time for the good classes (ie physics, adv math, calc, etc).
A scheduling nightmare because every adult within 100 ft of a school is retarded = stuck with shit like grade 11 advanced PE because the grade 9 one conflicts with that physics or math class you need.
Fucking PE in highschool is such a fucking waste of time... if they want to lower the dropout rate how about making school less of a nightmare for the poor kids.
Fucking people drop out because the schools are a waste of time, and you learn fuck-all. The teachers are often not the brightest bulbs in the box. I remember once grade 12 adv sci teacher that taught the class that two identical lightbulbs in series would show the one closer to the positive battery terminal as brighter, and REFUSED to change his mind and got OFFENDED when I gently tried to correct him. I even whipped out the textbook and this guy like just digs in deeper. Like, holy fuck, this is a g12 adv sci teacher?
I shouldn't have been surprised though, ever since early in grade school, I realized that most teachers had various emotional issues. Most of them were micro-managing control freaks, some were down right mean and spiteful, others were perverts (like always having 'class dances' and forcing all the boys and girls to dance together, and being a little 'too involved', real weird shit).
Do the right thing, break your conditioning, and drop out of that lame school. It's a gov't warehouse anyways, you'd probably learn more just going to the public library every day or reading online for that matter. Once you turn 18, go take the GED test, and you can use that (depending on your score) to do anything the HS diploma is good for, like getting into college or university (provided you're not too much of a dumb-fuck.)
