In our district, the kids have to have 2 semesters of PE and 1 semester of Health. My DD plays Softball and BB and still has to take PE, no exemption. Right now, they're learning basketball, she uses it for extra shooting practice. They have units on nutrition, strength training, etc. They don't just play games. She'll satisfy the rest of her PE credits by taking strength and conditioning or swimming.

No one wants to pay taxes for education anymore. 40 kids per class, very few liberal arts, ect, there's just no budget for that anymore.

OK not too bad.... hopefully the Orthopedic Specialist is just being cautious, which is a good idea. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

First of all "great news" that it's not something worse.
Second - It has been my experience that the GP's and their network of specialists will always prescribe the most conservative plan to recovery. Which means that after 3+ weeks the extremity is definitely healed BUT it is also a bit weaker and inflexible. If you have this time to rebound then great,...take it.
What I generally offer, to those who are very motivated to get back in the game, is to see a PT. To me a solid PT is worth their weight in gold to a high-level athlete.
DD messed her knee up in HS gym class last year and this was 3 weeks in front of opening day's first pitch. We got her to a recommended PT the day after the injury. SHe not only was better at three weeks she also retained strength & flexibility.
Just a thought here with this. All I can say is that this was the perfect choice for DD for what she was dealing with. (the injury & the pressure to anchor her varsity team)
You need to move then. My kids have never had 30 in a class, our music program is growing, we have a full drama, choir and art program all while providing great education and sports with a fee of $150 for the year. All in a HS school with less then 700 students.

She'll be working with a PT starting Monday along with her regular trainer. They said they'd give her a good workout to keep the rest of her in good shape also, so she's happy about that.

Yay! DD has been going to physical therapy 3 times a week and cleared to start practicing as long as she takes it easy (no running, or going hard for grounders etc...) She did bat for the first time on her feet last night and had no pain. However, I did get an e-mail that they might cancel practice tonight due to snow so I'm crossing my fingers
They are doing "Court Hockey" in PE so she is not allowed to participate. HS tryouts next Friday!
I told the coach about her injury and my DW was not happy I did. She's brutal! She thinks it sounds like we are making excuses in case she doesn't do well. Geez, I'm not worried about her not doing well...I just don't want her to be doing anything stupid while trying out.

We had to do four years of PE at my school (year 7 is the start of high school, year 12 is the last year) but we also had 'sport' after lunch on Tuesdays. If you made a sport team, you did that sport, if you didn't you would go do some type of psychical education. Always made a sports team, so couldn't tell you what it was! You would then go play other schools during that timeframe.
