I'm currently nearing the end of my 7th grade year (thank god), and I could not be more appalled at my overall experience at this school. However, I'm here to talk about a specific issue. Each week, P.E. students are required to run a mile in under 15:59 on a random, undisclosed day. (This is to prevent skipping the mile but I believe it's completely unfounded.) If you don't finish it in time, you have to run it again every day until you do, if the teacher thinks you aren't trying. But in reality, only the girls have to actually do it. Or anything for that matter. All of the boys get to slack off every week. The only time they have to run it is for fitness tests as it's required by the state. But here's the real kicker. There have been many scandals in which students were forced to run even though they were clearly in an unfit position to be doing so. An example of this is that some LITERALLY PASSED OUT and were expected to get back up and continue running. This also greatly targets students with health problems that make strenuous exercise difficult or even dangerous, as often times even if the school is aware of the student's issue it is completely overlooked. Today an incident like this has happened yet again with a friend of mine (I will refrain from sharing details to protect their privacy) and I am so done with all of this. This mentioned P.E. teacher should think long and hard about her priorities, and stop endangering the health of LITERAL CHILDREN. This has likely been going on for a long time (though I cannot say for certain) and I want to protect future AMS students I know from having to endure this. Thank you for reading and have an amazing day.
