Went to High School in the late sixties and physical fitness was required. We used to have to shimmy up these thick ropes that were hung from the high ceiling of the gym. You had to touch the steel beam at the top to get credit for it., even girls (like me) were required to do it. There were maybe three or four fat kids in the entire school. We also played field hockey, basketball, softball and did track. All in gym class. We were lucky enough to have a pond near the school and got to ice skate on it during the winter months.
I remember... I started school in mid-60s. I had one of those push-up extension records
Good for you! I think I failed push ups, but could do chinning on the bar okay. I kind of sucked at track too, but they didn't care as long as we completed the course. I can't even imagine them letting kids skate on a local pond as part of PE now.
too many liabilities and honestly I do not think the kids would be strong enough to do it today, so far as even standing up on the skates. I know if I were a teacher in this day and age, I'd be a nervous wreck watching these kids. I'd have em' all wearing arm floaties and crash helmets just to stick their feet out on that ice. lol
