How do you grade your 9th - 12th grader on PE? Vicki isn't doing any kind of sports or karate. We are walking, swimming, Zumba, and Wii Sports. If I can come with other things we will do them also. I don't know exactly how to grade this. I do plan to put 1/2 credit of Health with this also. Thanks, I do appreciate any tips.
In high school our PE grades were based on participation. A for effort type thing. Personally, if my high school child was exercising regularly I'd count it as an A for the physical part. (though in high school our PE credit and health credit were taken in separate years)
Health & Physical Fitness Why bother worrying about a grade for PE? My take on that is as long as my kids were not couch potatoes I gave them an "A" for PE. Here is what we did in 9th & 10th grade. Health & Physical Fitness (1 credit) • Healthful nutrition and diet • Preventing tobacco use • Preventing drug and alcohol abuse • Preventing injuries • Preventing HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections • Preventing pregnancy • Wall climbing, bike riding & swimming • Frisbee, basketball, baseball, softball, bowling, golf & volleyball • Walking, jogging & running
This is exactly, word for word, my thoughts and experience. I gave an A for running, casual one on one basketball, gardening, swimming -- all of these things were done on a regular basis, though.
We just did PE as a pass/fail on sd's quarterly reports and transcripts. In the ps they do tests and other such things in the PE classes that we did not do. I do not personally like giving an A for effort, I would rather just say pass/fail and leave it at that.

She is going to a nutrition class because of weight. Her medicines make her gain weight. I'm going to count that also. Thank you Ladies, I truly appreciate all the advice.
