And if you did what class grade/year would it had happened? What decade (if your comfortable sharing)?
I am wondering how many people actually did this and from what locations/ages/years it would have happened. For my education (American elementary-college years 2000’s-2010’s) I never had to do that. I feel like I had to be common enough that it is referenced in movies and tv shows.
Sure did, I think it was part of a bunch of tests we had to do for the… Presidential Fitness Award or something?
It was done in Elementary school, so Fall 87->Spring 93? I have no idea if they’re still doing any of that crap now though.
I do remember it being the neatest dang thing because our school had like this entire wall of collapsible gym equipment that folded out like a playground with like 2 or 3 story monkeybars and gigantic poofy mats at the bottom, and you better believe some kids fell off.
The more I think about it, the more I suspect they don’t let them do that anymore
ELEMENTARY! I feel like that is wild.
Haha yeah it sounds like a crazy fun playground filled with danger.
I’m probably five years younger than you. We had rope climbing but it wasn’t part of the Presidential Physical Fitness Award (which I am seemingly deeply proud of actually having managed in the third grade, despite being crap at pull ups, and I was even worse at rope climbing).
