Last year the kidlet's gym class had a rollerblading unit -- we had to pay extra for it, but I thought it was a great ide.
The one time my school offered a choice, it was a very gendered choice -- half the class was doing gymnastics and the other half was doing weightlifting, and instead of just saying, "Girls here, boys there," they let us choose. I wanted to do weightlifting but had it in my head that I'd get a lot of static from the teacher, so I didn't. (We did have one boy in our gymnastics unit. He was strong and graceful and actually much better at gymnastics than I was.)
