physical education teachers are not smart

In regards to just taking classes and actually doing stuff with the material................we took "applied" classes where you didnt learn things but had to use things.

  There's a reason you are a gym teacher and not a doctor. It's either motivation or aptitude.

  Or both.

  You didn't have to say that, I already knew that. Not some, most were at the 101 level (the pre-med type courses). Bio and Ex. Phys classes at the 400 level? Oh my, what a challenge!

  I took biomechanics and Kinesiology, anatomy and phys., I took extra exercise physiology courses to get an extra certificate or endorsement. Most colleges require a health degree also. It is 2 years of pretty intense and deep science courses

  Did you take a Kinesiology class or several? Because it's a major.
  
  That'd be akin to me getting some basic personal training certificate after taking a class and trying to equate it to me being knowledgeable in the field. I wouldn't be, people with exercise science degrees with an ACSM cert and their CSCS are.
  
  The problem with your assertion that gym teachers are highly educated in the field of athletic movements, or kinesiology, or anatomy, or whatever is that I have never met, and I don't think anyone else here has either, a gym teacher that would qualify as such. We played some sports, had a very basic lifting coursework, did tests on things like BMI and rules of sports. That's basically it.

  By CCrunner's logic, since I took 3 classes in quantum mechanics/physics I am just like a theoretical physicist! Just call me Einstein.

  CCRunner is stupid. So, if you're stupid, then yes, that makes you a theoretical physicist.
