Instead of having just pass or fail, our school has a new grading system for gym. it's total bs. i bet they just have that so the jocks can get better averages and participate in sports.

last year, it was either you participated enough to pass, or you didn't go to enough gym classes and failed. This year they have written exams, projects, tests of skill as well as the participation.

Well it was pretty unfair that people who just stood there talking would recieve the same grade as someone actually participating.

They also grade you on your effort and technique, not just your general skill. If you hit a volleyball the way they ask you but it goes into another court or just falls to the ground you'll still get full credit for technique.

Also if you opt out then it becomes a pass fail course. (You do not have to show up to class but as soon as your season is finished you will fail if you miss one class.)
