The Not-So-Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Feb 22, 2023 from Untigering The other day, as a P.E. requirement for the charter school that he is enrolled in, KK (my 13yo) had to participate in a physical fitness test. Now, you’ve got to understand, as an unschooling family, we don’t do P.E. class. We also don’t do tests. For exercise, KK takes walks and plays handball and rollerblades and jumps on the trampoline and a host of other activities, but he has never had to do a push-up or curl-up. He has never had to run a timed mile. Those are not generally skills that children spontaneously do.
