They tried that crap on me when I was in high school too, what with career crap and guidance bullshit. Every single one I went to, it was the same story, until, finally, the one teacher gave me a break and went with listening to me and looking at my strengths.
The fact that it was the gym teacher is probably not as awesome but. Educators like to shove it all into a mold, I swear, and when you don't fit...Well, they're idiots.
