The Fitness Gram Pacertest is something regularly done in schools, and it is not helpful or beneificial. In Gym class, we are always told to put forward our best effort and to try our best, no matter how good we are. With the pacer test, it compares students to others and can lower their self esteem. Kids who get out before the other kids feel as if they're not good enough, and it can greatly impact them. Not only this, but the pacer test doesn't keep us active. When half of the class is doing it, the other half is doing nothing. This means that the inactive half is not getting their benefit from the Gym class. Overall, the pacer test is just toxic and encourages bad self esteem, and gyms should focus on doing their regular activities.
