The official "things I hated in school when I was a kid" thread

I hope there is a Hell and I hope every phys-ed teacher on the planet ends up there. Okay? Okay.

I know that @firemonkey is with me on this.

It was before sex education, I was totally confused and my parents were mute on the subject.

Anything to do with math in school, I hated. I struggled a lot in math.

Football was just another means by which the other boys would
have a go at me. I’d be picked last for a team and then shoved in goal. Goalkeeper being the very worst position to put a person as bad at football as me. Inevitably I let in lots of goals and was treated like crap for doing so.

As for gym classes- at public school the gym teacher was a hard as nails ex army sergeant who struggled to hide his disapproval of badly coordinated, clumsy as can be, me.

I didnt particularly hate anything about school except for certain teachers. I was too rebellious.

In college I had a terrible accounting teacher. So old school pen and paper and wouldnt listen to me about anything regarding accounting. software. Her attitude was brutal. She would put up the lowest mark and the highest mark on the board after we got our exams back.
So when she did that on the midterm I knew the lowest mark was mine so I just got up and said yeah thats me and dropped out.
Little does she know i shortly after started a company, made more money than her and hired my own accountant to do everything :sweat_smile:.

I also was in that class with a totally screwy brain. About 6 months prior when i was 19 i had smoked pot, hallucinated a lot and was dissociated with derealization for like a year. I kept seeing plants and objects as if they were conscious beings and objects would shrink and grow just weird stuff. It was like trying to prevent an anxiety attack daily.

I actually remember reading a poster at school that mentioned psychosis and I was like hmmm i wonder what that is lol.

I thought maybe it was an anxiety disorder at the time.

A little punk used to try to molest me and disappear. I should have slammed him into the lockers. I hated that I didn’t.

The thing is, if you’re good at sports you won’t hate them. Hey, I went through the whole ā€œgetting picked lastā€ when I was a freshman. And even when I got so I could play football and baseball halfway decently, I still stressed while I was out there playing that I would screw up and occasionally I did screw up. But by the time I was a senior, all the coaches knew me and I was being chosen to be captain.

You can’t just say, all sports are bad and there’s nothing good about playing them. There’s too much evidence to the contrary and while there’s something wrong about shaming and picking on a kid because he’s bad at sports, for the ones who are naturally gifted and those who aren’t but work hard to be good, sports are a positive thing; they teach teamwork obviously but also build confidence.

I hated all the privileged, entitled jocks in school too but I also had lots of fun after school and on weekends playing baseball and football with my friends.

I was bad at all sports save for archery, which I am freaky good at. I was forced to participate in activities that I was not physically capable of doing and then given failing grades. I was also mocked for my inability to participate normally in the popular sports. The joy of an invisible disability.

Every phys-ed teacher I had was plank thick stupid and did not grasp the nature of the issue at hand.

Edit:

This is the main heart condition I have @77nick77. I have a load of complications that I have piled on since and I’m on pacemaker number five. I basically shouldn’t be alive right now. I have never had enough circulatory capacity to run. Ever. That didn’t stop me from getting stuck playing sports where I was expected to run or being failed for running activities that I couldn’t do. I was treated like I was malingering or a hypochondriac all through school when I tried to explain my heart issues.

Do I hate sports? Yes I do. Every sport that involves any sort of running or skating.

This jerk’s jaw made good friends with my elbow during a touch football game. I still laugh when he was bleeding and expecting an apology. ā– ā– ā– ā–  him.

But yeah gym sucked.

Seems like a waste for a gym teacher, they didn’t teach ā– ā– ā– ā– , semi earned a four year degree only to stand there and blow a whistle. Lol! I guess no one else would be qualified to do that.

I loved gym class and love sports in general. I respect the fact that not everyone feels the same way. That’s okay.
