        I used to do some substitute teaching; every once in a while I’d get PE class. My favorite thing was playing games with the kids. Pelting kids Billy Madison style is as fun as it looks

    Why are you teaching high school when you yourself are still young? Your choice or it just happened?

      First there’s the line up. Then there’s the warmup for everybody. Then we do some gymnastics exercises (that’s what they’re called here), “resilience” (pushups, pullups, etc.), running, etc. depending on the day + sports (football, basketball, handball, volleyball, etc.) Boys play something and girls something else. The sports part can also include free time for individuals activities such as jumping rode. Students choose what to do. I supervise and give instructions.

    Public or private school? Do you get any disrespect from other more “academic” teachers for being a PE teacher?

      Sure, but here it’s called “ducks and hunters”. That’s more popular in elementary than high school.
