Tired for getting your ass kicked in Kickball? Always last the last one to be chosen for any sport in gym? Then give skateboarding a try! That's right, a school in New York City is offering a Skateboard class for gym credit and the class is taught by pro skateboarder Billy Rohan. Among local skateboarders, the spot on 12th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A where wooden ramps and metal-topped ledges are set up most afternoons is known as 12A. For the 9th and 10th graders of East Side Community High School, it is gym class.
It's not just for the guys, as many of the students that are participating in the class are girls.
More schools should be doing this!
