​Changing after P.E. Class: Is there enough time?

By Graftonieshe Bowers
 
There are a lot of controversial opinions as to whether or not East High students have enough time to get ready after their P.E classes. Some say that they have plenty of time, and others say that they need more time.

P.E coach Mrs. Vann said, “Kids do not need more time to get ready. There are some kids who come to class late, and if they do come to class on time they sit and talk in the locker room with their friends. ”  She went on to say that, “there are a lot of kids that don’t even change for gym, so ten minutes is more than enough time to get ready.”

Some scholars say that it depends on which period you have gym class. One of my friends told me that she had an easier time getting dressed last year rather than this year because she had a 5th period gym class. Now she has a 3rd period gym class and she has to rush and get changed quickly so she can get a spot in the long lunch line.

I can see both sides of this topic. I agree with Mrs. Vann because I see firsthand what she is talking about. Some kids who come into the locker room and sit and socialize rather than getting dressed, and when they do get dressed it is literally at the last minute. I understand that some people take longer than others to get dressed but it doesn't take more than ten minutes.
