This study attempts to understand control factors and a teacher's use of emotional blackmail in a physical education class. It also examines perceptions toward physical education classes among elementary school students. Over a period of sixteen months, the participants in this study were 305 students in B, C, & G elementary schools who completed an open questionnaire. In addition, six students in G elementary school and three teachers were interviewed. The data were collected through open questionnaires, and participant and teacher interviews. The interviews were transcribed and coded for domain and classification analysis. The results indicate that, first, the control factors for teachers are the controls for physical education class preparation and management, for knowledge-based subjects, school life guides, and teaching factors. Second, examples of emotional blackmail on the part of teachers are announcing needs, and repetitions. Last, students’ perceptions of physical education include trying to read the teacher's mind, a non-marshmallow physical education, and the education of playing. A few suggestions were offered as solutions to the problems, along with positive methods for bettering elementary physical education.
