Bay-I'm sure they would have.
When I do things like play volleyball at the beach with my friends or even just take a bike ride around the block (which we don't do as often anymore because people have moved and such), I have a great time. When we walk around the park, I have an awesome time. I walked my dog with my friends a few times...we had great fun.
I think the problem is that they take the fun aspect out of it by making it all about grades...if you're not athletic, you don't get a good grade (hence why I took golf...the coach was great that as long as we showed up and we tried, we got an A...he was one of the best PE teachers I ever had).
RacinReaver-very good point. I rescind that statement.
