13 year old son wants to quit school because of gym class

My son is 13. Last year was his first year of middle school, so he started having a "real" gym class, complete with uniforms and locker rooms. Gym class was hell for him. It was just like our gym classes from middle school: the jocks thrived while the not so athletic people dreaded gym class. My son is in the latter category. Because of that, my son was bullied like crazy. The jock kids watched him struggle through gym, and they teased him mercilessly. The locker room was also hell. As we know, locker rooms are breeding grounds for bullying, and this one was no exception. He was called names like "wimp", "princess", and "dork", and also got punched a couple times in his private area. He tried skipping gym class a few times, and got some detention hours for it. Now school starts on Tuesday and he's begging us to pull him out of school and homeschool him, but we cannot homeschool due to financial reasons. I don't know what to do. I complained to the administration about the bullying, but they are very lax and flippant about it. What should I do? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Lfuv3X
