One small reason I ultimately dropped out of college was that I was made to take a PE course that was essentially the same pointless exercise in humiliation from high school. Semester after semester, I took and dropped it. By my end, I had no respect for my own degree program
Now I understand that my exclusion was probably by design. I'm neurotic and I'm disagreeable, and I lack the conscientiousness to make up for it when I'm being told to do something that does nothing but create suffering for myself in order to make someone else tick a box for me.
Lots of foreign language mentions in the replies — this is rapidly becoming an extremely pointless multi-semester activity for most students given that translation tech is rapidly eating the utility between "knows a few travel phrases" and "willing to spend years becoming fluent"
I dropped out under similar circumstances. I got a D in weightlifting because I missed the final to speak at a conference.
That's pretty great tbh
What did you major in?
Psychology
Would you agree that many people who loved PE (always looked forward to it myself) had your experience while taking an English lit class? Point being, it isn’t PE per say, it’s being forced to learn what other ppl think is important when you aren’t interested.
I agree. I actually think the thing that leads a lot of people to hate PE is its unique strength: there's not a lot of talking; you have to get up and *do* some of the things the lectures address. It's *real enough* to hate. But there's no reason to hate it if it's not compulsory
I remember reading a book about how morning exercise radically improves student learning rates. Here was one case study http://iphionline.org/pdf/P.E._Case_Study_Naperville.pdf …
It's pretty hard to parse what they did there, but it seems like their "regular PE" control condition is really a "no elective reading class" condition
