What Exactly is Physical Education?
Americans do in fact tend to take their fitness and sports classes very seriously. It is not uncommon as part of a student’s daily fitness activity to include rock or rope climbing, or partake in a competitive game of badminton. How many people can remember the parachute in gym class?
Some schools in the U.S. will also take gym class outside if the weather allows it. It is always great for students to be able to run around outside and breathe in some fresh air before returning back to the classroom. If the weather is nice and you have a cool gym teacher, playing outside was always fun.
