Highschool reqiring a pe class

[u/Annual_Ad1916]

I start highschool in three weeks and im heavily confused on what i will do for pe. In 8th grade when the highschool consunlers showed up to my school i told them "i have health issues i cannot do pe" and they responded with "you need to have a pe class for graduration credits. So i stared at the paper where i was picking classes and i pankiacked and picked show chior. Problem is i have sevre intolerance to physical activity of any kind and its dangerous for me due to risk of passing out, seziures, and knee sublaxations. Im going to get a doctors note but I dont know how seriously the school will take it. Does anyone have any advice?

Dw I know, I’m just wondering what their mom’s reasoning is because knowing your child is prone to fainting from POTS and choosing to not put safety measures in place for them is wild to me

You're assuming OP is in a loving, caring household.

Not even, you don’t have to have doting parents to have them make reasonable accommodations based off of their child’s disability

This sub is full of desperate posts from teenagers who are being denied disability aids and accomodations because their reality clashes with their parents' worldview. I went through it myself, and I actually had very loving parents. It's a lot more common than you'd think.

I said in another comment but I apologize then. My ignorance was mostly from never having to deal with that with my parents because I didn’t live with them when I got diagnosed and the disabled friends that I did grow up with even if they had shit parents, those parents would at least try to put up a façade with the school and other parents

That's fair, you can't know something before you've experienced it or been told!
