We're living in a world dominated by technology.  Let's face the facts, the robots will be taking over society before we know it.

But in order to make sure that doesn't happen, and to make sure there is an entire generation who do not have the basic skill of "human interaction," Poteet High School in Mesquite is offering a class alternative to PE called "Outdoors Adventures."


In this class, students learn everything from what to do in a plane crash, to the right way to handle all that bacon grease, to even how to ride a bike.

Instructor Coach Brian Wester says, "At least three or four students in every one of my classes have never gotten on a bike.  I teach them that and then the other group once we get more experienced I take them on the trails behind the school.

Alison Terry, who says the Outdoor Adventures course at Poteet High School is the first PE class she ever really loved, told NBC DFW, "This class is so cool,10 out of 10 I would recommend.  We went fishing one time. I love learning to fish it was very fun. And we cook a lot in this class which is great because I love food."
