They say things like, “It’s just a name they made up to make substitute teachers feel special…”
A higher percentage of PE teachers are bad at their job than other disciplines, because schools’ tend to hire randos for that position. I salute all who’re good at it despite this regrettable trend 🫡
I just want to know why they wear gym clothes and never actually do anything athletic.
TBF they’d look stupid wearing a suit in a room full of sweaty children.
But… is that only because we’re accustomed to not seeing them in suits??? I wonder…
to be fair the pe teachers where I grew up kind of earned that reputation. they never taught us how to do much of anything they were just like “go play baseball” and then they’d yell at you for doing it wrong because no one taught you
My one high school PE teacher was such a slacker that I actually admired him for it. He also played favorites in a hilarious way, like me and my friend would be talking loudly in class and he’d ignore us. But as soon as someone else spoke up he’d tell them be quiet. Then would bs with us about sports and what not. It was so obvious he was just checking the box every day.
Not a good teacher but kind of hilarious to see that level of professional apathy. Probably didn’t help that he was only about 4 years older than us. I think people forget a lot of teachers aren’t much older than teenagers
Fair enough.
