Potential is just a cute way of saying you haven't done anything.

Hey Coaches just wanted to get a feel for how many of you are in a school district that gives PE credits for athletics vs. making them take a P.E. class. In CO it is by school district but with block scheduling (1-4 & then 5-8 every other day) most opt for having P.E class as credit.
If you have any preference and what these kids do during off-season would be great as well.
Thanks,
Darren Grob

In HS we didn't, but when I played ball in college it counted as a PE credits.

If you play a sport it's a pe credit. Sucks though because you can imagine the winners we get in PE

We don't allow it within our school district, and frankly I would be out of the job if they did allow that rule due to less classes with lower number of students. I think it creates a difficult situation, because it opens the door to students who participate in band, cheerleading, etc.

Terrible idea in my opinion (especially if you're a PE teacher). Like haus77 stated, many of our jobs would be in jeopardy. Our district tried to give credit for sports 2 years ago but we shot it down and used the fact that many sports are not preparing kids for an active lifestyle. Not too many 60 year olds strapping on helmets.

Wait... do you mean a credit for a sport outside of school hours without an athletic period attached to it?
I haven't heard of anyone doing that in decades.

That's what was suggested here a few years back. They used to do that in the 60s and 70s where I'm from. My uncle got it in his playing days. That stuff got phased out in favor of athletic periods because there were a bunch of complex rules conflicts that made it problematic from both an academic AND athletic perspective. The athletic periods that replaced it are all but gone in this post NCLB world except at a few traditional powers that still make it a priority. Instead, we get generic weight lifting classes now that aren't designed to favor any one sport. |

Not that I'd be in favor of it but what would be so hard about it? If a kid starts the season on time and finishes in good standing he gets credit and an A in PE. |

Thanks, Darren Grob varies GREATLY throughout CA by district some you can waive it some you cant in our district you CANT waive it, and actually ours is unique in that we are one of few who hold the kids to the state standards for PE most places that make you take PE it is a 1 year requirement, or any sort of PE (weight training, team sports, whatever) count here freshman are required to take PE1 sophomores take PE2 if you do not pass both semesters of each you have to take it again if you do not pass 5 out of 6 fitness tests you HAVE to retake the class as a junior dont pass the tests as a junior? you take it again as a senior in a way it is good because i can always have my job in the district... but ALL of our teaching sections go to PE 1 and PE2 classes the "elective" PEs have almost gone extinct used to be weight training offered every period, then 3/7, then 2/7, now just 1 period a day no football ifting no football skills no basketball skills no more bowling no more fun basically where as 3 miles away in a different city and district, our biggest rival gets their football kids in football ifting from january of their freshman year, through december of their senior year they take 1 semester (1st semester freshman year) of "regular" PE for all of HS |

Not that I'd be in favor of it but what would be so hard about it? If a kid starts the season on time and finishes in good standing he gets credit and an A in PE. Personally, I would be ok with it. I don't see why this freaks people out, aside from the "job security" issues listed above. It could run into some issues when the coaches are non-faculty, though. Football, basketball, and baseball would likely have at least one certified teacher on staff to go down as the "instructor of record," but I don't know about sports like track, golf, tennis, etc. Those kids would want PE credit for their participation, as well, and it could turn into a logistical and political nightmare. Some of the reasons this stuff was originally phased out here had to do with different offseason rules about what constituted "practice" and when/how much you could practice in the offseason, combined with academic rules about how much actual classroom time a student needed to get course credit on a transcript. They're bending those rules about time in class now for online classes but the others about practice are still issues. |
