I hated gym class too, especially dodge ball. It really reveals which sporty kids are total jerks and like to bean someone as hard as they can for no reason. I used to just cheat and sit down before I was actually out so they'd quite hitting me as hard as they could. If you're really feeling stealthy, you can hit people while sitting, since you're not technically out. I figure I was just introducing snipers to dodge ball.

I hear at least some schools now give you PE credits for other activities. Some got credits for ballet (which involves 4-6 hours of class per week), some others could do a mountain biking group with their school. I was born too soon, I guess.
