Comment Suggestion for improving geek fitness (Score 1) 90

How about dejockifying public education?

My experience is that many people inclined towards a compu-career have been turned off physical exercise, thanks to jocks. Competitive sports have become a religion in many schools, where nothing else matters but a winning team to bring glory. Phys-ed has become a grade factory for jocks, and a source of persecution for non-jocks. Add to that the castes that develop, based on physical size and development.

That means:

Making schools a place for education rather than musculotonic social dominance.

Removing extramural sports.

Emphasizing non-sport activities (e.g. running, swimming, martial arts).

Replacing "team-ism" with individualism.

Teaching students to love and respect their bodies.

Fairness to all students, regardless of physical condition.

Firm and consistent discipline.

Prevention of bullying.

Just imagine, more people having a healthier attitude towards exercise and fitness.
