And dodgeball - the perfect opportunity to let the ball hit you and then you're out. Can you imagine if anything else was taught like that? Imagine the kid who's not good in math. "Here, if you don't know how to add 1+1 and get to 2, just drop out and you won't have to do it anymore." LOL. What were they thinking??

Anecdotally, my personal trainer tells me he has tons of women in the late 30's / early 40's who have the same thing -- gym classes put them off athletics, and he has to retrain them into believing you don't have to a be a jock to enjoy jogging, working out, strength training, etc.
