Having been historically marginalized in gym class, I ask why stop at math?
- NullPrefix 5y agoBecause asians are good at math.
- mbg721 5y agoIsn't gym class already at the end-point of removing rigor? It's generally not separated into tracks by ability, it's widely regarded as easy filler, and anybody with any serious interest in athletics does their real training outside of class. It's less "Why stop at math?" than "Please stop at gym!"
- mariodiana 5y agoYou're no doubt correct. But gym class for me was something like 35 years ago.
- lupire 5y agoGym class, sure, but why is the football team allowed to let some students play more and run farther?
- mbg721 5y agoThe same reason the math club can still do pentagon-inscribed-in-an-ellipse problems. (But I'm not actually convinced that the math equivalent of after-school weightlifting would be the actual result, rather than just the families that can afford it fleeing to private schools.)
