Am I the only one who couldn't even reach the freaking box?
I was athletic, but not flexible. Shit was humiliating.
I also couldn't do a pull up, but neither could most kids in my class, so that was alright.

I topped my school's record score on those tests. I haven't been able to afford to go to the dentist in more than 20 years. I wish they would have focused on making our society sustainable instead.
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
Wanna do some pacers?
Before going to the comments section, I was like "wtf is this post?"
After reading a few comments, I'm fully bewildered. What the fuck is up with your crazy country?
It's a fitness test for students so the government can track public health metrics. That Lemmy has a problem with it says a lot about Lemmy and nothing about America being "crazy."
That's unrelated.
We don't know either. It's just fucked and nobody cares.
The pain. THE PAIN.
Steady! I warn you not to try jerking away. I am old, but my hand can drive this needle into your neck before you can escape me.
Does Elmo have choice to not?
Is this some sort of PE meme that I'm too Marching Band to understand?
Marching in the elements, while carrying an instrument, while playing, god forbid you have a wind instrument. That's gotta be more physically gruelling than a PE class catering to the lowest common denominator.
Marching band was considered a varsity sport at my high school. Because if the golf team are considered athletes, so am I.
Ours had a “Which president would you impress?” scale.
Nobody even reached Calvin Coolidge.
I still have my presidential physical fitness award. I'm old, mine is signed by Nixon. It's a very official looking certificate with a patch that I put under the glass in the frame. Back when I used to hang my work awards on my office wall, I used to have that one in with them. Most people didn't ever notice, but every once in a while someone would be looking at them and I could always see the exact moment they realized what it was.
Is that the same flex as the "I ate a grilled-cheese in Woolworth's" badge of honour?
I don't think I know the reference, but it sounds equivalent.
I had to impress Bill Clinton. I failed to do so, so he came to my house to call me a loser.
Obama wasn’t mad, just disappointed that I was out of shape
That's why you had to do the sprints. To be ready to escape Bill Clinton when he appears.
They tried to warn you.
I did it to impress George Bush Sr. I'm not sure he cares either.
Same reason W wanted to be president and same result
Haha!
I had to do it to Impress Pres. John F Kennedy.
My efforts were to impress Arnold Schwarzenegger and George H.W. Bush.
