re: High school fitness, 1962

They’ve basically replaced the fitness standards with the Pacer test which is a shuttle run against the clock. My kids got upset in elementary school when the teacher would make them stop at 50 and not see how many they could actually get.

My neighbor is a P.E. Teacher (in her 60s no pics) and she says that they had to stop doing pull ups because a couple of kids nationwide injured themselves straining to do the pull up.
