The dreaded mile run… just mentioning that it’s coming up soon brings an influx of parent notes excusing their child from PE each day due to ailment xyz. Or “I’m sick/hurt and my mom said you can call her but her email didn’t work so she couldn’t tell you.”

Do parents really believe that out of the blue their kid has a crippling injury that only affects them at PE? (And of course they can still play at recess) Or do they just “not care about PE cause it’s not a real class” as the kids like to say.

How do yall navigate this? Allow a parent note to excuse for a week, and then demand a DR note for anything further? Then just have a makeup day the following week where all the kids without a DR note have to do it?
