1. SKIP?

Not only was I *not* taught how to skip, but my Kindergarten teacher used this "criteria" as justification for insisting that I repeat Kindergarten and not be forwarded to first grade.

My parents had to take me to a juvenile psychiatrist for an IQ test in order to override my teacher's "recommendation". (I tested above-average.)

11. What the hell?

That’s terrible. I assume that was in the 60s when, for me anyway, teachers were great at shaming children. I’m sorry this happened to you.

2. geez.. the dogs did better than any of them. Bring in a five year old!

I think, frankly that most in the video have very inflexible (or painful) hips so they just don't get the motion of skipping. I think there was one in the video who mostly did, but...

I have a bad ankle so I would not be all that willing, either...

5. I remember how to skip intellectually, but the bad back and bad knees don't cooperate.

Boo!

6. Of course! Skip daily.

I admit, skip-dancing on a grassy slope is more of a challenge now than fifty years ago.

9. still comes very natural to me

I think because I regularly do jump rope exercises

10. Of course

[question everything]

12. Wasn't this an exchange with Archie Bunker and the "Meathead"

Archie would not walk and would not run in dark streets (or something) so “meathead” reply was to skip.
