I think that the gym teacher is a standard P.E. teacher in high school. More than likely, he's on the coaching staff of some type of sport at the school and hears that language all of the time...probably says it more than the regular P.E. class does while he's shouting at the team.

My gym teachers never worked out with us, but that didn't sway my respect for those teachers. As for the favortism towards the girls...you'll have that no matter what class he's in. Shoot...my wife tells me all of the time how she never turned in homework in one of her classes, but always came out with at least a 'C'...and it was a woman teacher before you comment on sexism.

EDIT: With all of the new teacher-student sex scandels, you need to be careful as you have someone's career on the line because he "flirts" with the girls. If the evidence is slapping them in the face, then the administrators need to know about it, but if it's because someone feels they aren't treated as well as the others...take heed as it will come back to haunt you.

One more thing that I grew up with...It's a cruel world out there. Which brings me to an awesome quote that I gave to my former supervisor who I admired greatly and my step-son from Rocky Balboa.

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!
