I enjoyed playing sport at school as did most of my classmates. I admit the gym teachers could be strict, but so what? They all treated me fairly although some overdid the cp. That did not worry me, because if you did not play up you did not get smacked. It was as simple as that. You did not have to be very athletic to enjoy sport. It was about participation. Most gym teachers were quite young and you could joke with them. Why try to search for ulterior motives when they are not there? There is no value in being a cynic. After I left school, if I met any of my former teachers it was always a big hug and a smile. There are no hard feelings over discipline that happened years ago.
