any other losers ever fail gym?

inspired by that "did you ever fail a class in college" thread 😉

I failed gym once in high school... forgot my uniform at home too many time in one period (we had gym once/week and were only allowed 2 passes). I eventually figured out a trick, though. the gym teacher never took attendance past the letter M (the half-way mark down the attendance roster), and my last name starts with a V, so after that one F, whenever I forgot my uniform, I just cut the class 😛
 
At my old middle school there used to be two runs a week for normal gym class (1-1.5 miles), and the gym teachers would just put colored dots on your hand everytime you did a lap. People just started bringing their own markers and hiding behind the baseball backstop.
 
nope, despite my best efforts

out gym teacher was a fat lazy bastard who wouldn't take the trouble to grade, everyone got B+ or A-
 
i got a D once, last quarter of senior year in HS. i probably deserved an F (I didn't bring gym clothes for a whole semester) but the gym teacher probably realized it would've been stupid to not allow me to graduate cause of that.

Don't u get an A just for being in the class most of the time..?

probably varies, but at my school, gym was just pass/fail (along with some other electives like SAT prep classes and drivers ed) and didn't factor into your gpa at all.
 
I failed a semester but passed for the year. Does that still count?

My coach was actually really nice about it, explaining very calmly that I didn't have to participate if I didn't want to, but he was going to have to fail me.
 
My school, as long as you tried, you got an A.

My friend claims to have gotten a C in grade school art. How he pulled that off, I don't know.

I got a D in "art" when I was in 6th grade (the last year it was required at that school). I pretty much did everything I could to avoid gym... so I took "summer study" gym, and that allowed us to take a gym class 5 days/week, 4 hours/day, for 3 weeks, during the summer. We actually went to golf courses, bowling alleys, tennis courts, etc. Had it not been for that, I wouldn't have graduated high school. <shrug>
 
My school didn't grade you on gym. It was a class you were required to attend but you didn't get marked on it and it didn't go on record.
