#Headlines: About the Physical Education Hall of Shame

The Physical Education Hall of Shame (PEHOS) now has a real home, right here on PE Central. This is it: the place of dishonor and ignominy where terrible "fizz ed" activities, games and practices are enshrined so that physical educators can not only understand why such games are to be avoided, but also so that these same teachers can become more reflective and thoughtful practitioners of their profession.

Climb the Rope: The negative aspects of this relic have already been addressed in several PEHOS entries, but the low participation rates, the element of danger, the “made for a lawsuit” thin mat under the rope, the inattentive spotter, the rope burns on the hands and legs, and the grand spectacle of one student attempting to climb while the rest of the class sits and watches are the “perfect storm” of another all-time classic.
