Coming up with a scenario like that after reading about an eight year old dying - i'll stick by my original statement.

That's most likely the case

Sad indeed, probably wasn't even aware of the problem at all...

RIP little guy

Originally posted by Theresa Alright, I am totally going to hell for this... but I totally laughed. I imagined a fat kid hating the excercise so much he stopped and decided to bash his head into the ground to get out of doing the work out. Please forgive me. BTW, I don't think what really happened is funny... just my little scenario that I came up with seemed funny. I wonder what happened... maybe a brain aneurism?

Heh, I didn't laugh, but the thought, "Should have eaten less twinkies for breakfast, tubby!" did go through my head. I suppose I'm fucked also.

An unfortunate death, but nothing excessively tragic. Some people die, even children. :/

Agreed.

While you cannot always control the thoughts that come into your head, leave them out of a discussion such as this when they're obviously inappropriate.

Gotta agree here. I'm really surprised at your post Theresa, coming from the person that I remember complaining about the behaviour on TA.

gosh..
reminds me of my grade 6 or 7 class it was. during a gym period a couple of girls were leading warm up and one of them collapsed and went into a seizure. she apparently had a heart defect noone knew about. the girl was a gymnast so everyone was shocked. it was really scary...

RIP

What bonehead would make kids sit around all day doing no physical activity? Running up and down stairs is an excellent way to improve both strength and endurance when done for an appropriate amount of time.
I certainly hope that this tragedy doesn't compell parents to lash out at the gym teacher. Nowadays I think that P.E. is probably one of the only ways many children get the exercise they so desperately need.

omg here we go.

there are plenty of fun, exciting way to get kids involved in physical activity. running up and down stairs is not one of them.
