DELIVERING THE ONLINE WEDGIE? Among the courses that Minneapolis high school students can take online? Gym.
Read more via this link. Basically, it's the honor sysem: "Students will pursue proficiency in one or more lifetime sports or activities during this course and document their experience by keeping a daily journal. Through participation in their chosen sport or activity students will use a variety of basic and advanced motor skills, apply movement concepts and principles, and integrate performance strategies . . . . Participation must be documented with a parent/guardian or coach/trainer signature."
One nice aspect of this -- by taking gym out of a social setting, you get rid of the hierarchization and humiliation that's so typical in gym class -- you're never the slowest or the clumsiest. And if that's the case, then, maybe, physical activity doesn't become something one dreads, but something which builds self-esteem among the nerd class of which I was a part and becomes part of lifelong good habits.
