Thanks for US schooling explanation. 

In UK, we do have P.E, but it’s not as detailed or developed like you describe in the US. 

P.E is so rudimentary that no one takes it seriously, and it focuses on very basic aerobics style exercise…all depends on programme P.E teacher devises. It differs from school to school. 

In private school, you might have P.E as an option, but more often than not, the school insists that each pupil takes up a sport or two. The people who are good enough to join house/ school sports teams are exceptional, but everyone in the student body will have a sports in their educational arsenal. 

Keeping this conversation with Kate, look at the sports page of Marlborough school. 

https://www.marlboroughcollege.org/co-curricular/sport/

Quote from website:

Sport is part of daily life at Marlborough. We strive for every pupil to participate actively and to have a truly positive experience, developing a lifelong interest in and lasting enjoyment of sporting activity that will foster good habits long into adulthood.

Our talented and dedicated coaching teams strive to create the best possible environment for pupils to learn with a judicious mixture of challenge and open communication. There are many opportunities for pupils to represent the College in teams across a wide range of over 20 competitive sports, as well as participating in frequent high-energy house competitions, utilising our outstanding College facilities.

List of sports on offer:

https://www.marlboroughcollege.org/co-curricular/sport/all-sports/

Athletics, Basketball, Cricket, CrossCountry,  Equestrian, Fencing, Fives, Football, Golf, Hockey, Lacrosse, Netball, Polo, Rackets, Rugby, Shooting, Squash, Swimming, Tennis, Water Polo. 

It’s impossible to be a coach potato in a school where you are required to take up at least one from the above list of sports. 

Other schools eg Bryanston and Milfields whose raison d'etre is sports rather than academics will have a longer list of sports for their student body to choose from.

This is very interesting, anon -- thanks for following up and sharing! But now I wonder if it’s a chicken or the egg kind of a situation. Is Kate sporty because of Marlborough’s focus on athletic enrichment? Or was Marlborough a much better fit for Kate because she was sporty to begin with?

And, ah, aerobics...any time we had a sub in middle school PE (grades 6-8/ages 11-13), they’d throw us in the gym with a Billy Banks Tae Bo video projected on the wall.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre” Marilyn Burns, Bryanston Distributing Company, 1974, I.V. Photo from IMDB.com   Hey there! Thia the Bard here. I am just one of the many horror fanatics here at Real Women of Gaming. Horror is my favorite genre of film and I have a very special place in my heart for the subgenre of slasher. I was scrolling on TikTok recently and saw that a bunch of people were…

«Los Angeles area - 5-10-74 - FLESH FOR FRANKENSTEIN then playing in The States as ANDY WARHOL'S FRANKENSTEIN played the Avco Center Cinema, a long lasting theater in the Westwood area now the site as the iPic Westwood. Released by Bryanston (formed with monies from DEEP THROAT), this was one of the true successes of the company which would close up shop in a couple of years - too many stories surrounding TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE really give it's history a massive dark cloud.

HOUSE OF THE SEVEN CORPSES leads while the Mitam production of THE THIRSTY DEAD B's. The International Amusements release double feature had a few showings including the State Downtown, New View, El Monte Drive In, and Boulevard Drive In. THE THIRSTY DEAD would later turn into a Something Weird Video fan favorite.»
