Do yout think this is fair?
Question:my gym coach is making everyone run a mile and we have hardly practiced it. I dont have a problem with running,(i love to run) it just that she is not being fair about it and is making us run a mile under 12 minutes. (i mean there is no walking, or anything)
she also makes all of us run it again if one person doesnt make it. (and if you have problems, like you cant run that day, then she will make you do a report on why you didnt run even though you told her)
tell me, do you think this is fair at all?

This is NOT fair. This "coach" sounds like she's trying to get out of doing her job. She obviously has not studied physical education, because if she had she would know that some people have endurance for running etc. and some just do not no matter what you do to try to "make" them. If I were you. I would suggest the members of the class that are not ok with this method of teaching discuss it with their parents and with the principal. She needs to come up with some real lessons for her classes instead of keeping them "busy" running while she probably sits on her backside. Good luck.Looking for a marathon training guide.

Suck it up!i think your coach is a ball-breaking lesbian, who needs to get a different job, definately not around children.
Yeah thats soooo easey? How old r u though that depends because if your younger that would be unfair. But if not they NEED to get in shape!

Report her discreetly. U need a lot of witnesses and note what happens each time to really sort that ** out.No not at all! My gym teacher made us run the mile also although this was 10 years ago. Boy how school does not change...lol
I think your teacher is pushing to hard to make you re run it when someone else does not make it

This gym coach is a BI***!!! We used to have to run the mile in high school and I rememeer not being able to do it.. I could run maybe run lap around the whole track and that was it.The rest of it I walked... I get really bad side aches... Always took me at least 20 minutes.. lol. You should go talk to the principle or dean. or the counsler in your school they shouldn't be so hard on you like that... Complete BS...

You need to learn that life is not fair.People need to stop complaining about what is fair and what is not.
She's a Gym coach getting you ready for the season.and maybe she wants reports on why, to have it in writing for her records. Maybe?
How fast can you run one mile?
NO WAY !! tell her to f offRunning w/ high top shoes for ankle support?
i dont know what grade you are in but truthfully, this isnt that big a deal..gym coachs are just teachers that were to dumb to actually learn a decent subject, so they teach gym class..i havent meet one decent gym coach, except for sports coachs who are exctually teaching a specific sport to a team or individual. And a mile under 12 mins is possible walking thats a lot of time. But there are much larger problems that arnt fair. And life for the most part isnt fair.Look at the world around us, iraq and the genocide in africa.is that fair?
I don't, but that is my opinion ( I don't have trouble running it in under 12min) Some people just can't run very well. Its not a team, so the whole gym class shouldn't have to run if one person doesn't make it. Overall, in my opinion, I don't think it is fair.
Yes.
Obesity is a huge factor in America.
Children are fat.
Maybe the fat children should jog.
OH NO!
What if they sweat?
Goooood.
Everyone should be able to do a 12 minute mile, even walking quickly.
Here is what every one needs to do get the gym teachers to teach those kids who can't run a mile under 12 minutes race walking a very legitimate alternative. For far too long rigid physical fitness standards drawn up from some bureaucratic institution have dictated what people should be able to do. After all it's not like you girls are members of the military.
I really want to run but I can't?
It is fair. If you can run it in 6 minutes, then there is no reason your classmates cannot make it in 12 minutes.I walk 6 miles - 4 times each week. I can walk a mile in 15 minutes. Whenever I attempt to run a mile I can do so in about 8 minutes.
In middle school, you should be able to run the mile in about 10 minutes at an evenly very slow pace. You teacher is trying to build team work (you need to encourage the slower ones), get all of you to push yourself even when you think you cannot make it and also she is encouraging self development. Stick with it and help your classmates. It will pay off in the long run.
Hey i need to know if anyone runs distance in track?
Quit Crying and welcome to the world(group dynamics).here is the deal. You do well and have no problem, so you are supposed to help those less able by hanging back and pacing the slowest runners and encouraging them to make it in the required time. This teaches you be be a nice helpful person, rather than a sniveling nasty girl complaining about those less gifted holding you back.
