Physical Education, Should they ban it? Options

[tofumonzter]

It should be required, because this is about your health.

[EmeraldKnight]

but what if ppl already exercise? this would just be an extra and unnecessary burden to them when they could be taking other classes

[angel-roh]

i wish that class was jus an optional cus i reallie hate P.E.-_-; for me, it's better exercising on my own instead of going to P.E. cus u know u have to do cartwheels...and it's so embarrassing cus i cant do it lols...well the problem is my leg. this accident dont wana explain cus it's personal...newais there are so much embarrasing moments!!! haha i feel bad for my friend cus we have P.E. after lunch..and she ate burrito...her favorites she cant stop eating them...and when we were doing push ups and sit up...and when she did sit ups... she farted-_-;; and everyone heard it... and now she skips P.E. class cus of it lols

No PE is a must.....i mean look at alot of kid these days they do nothing but sit in front of a TV, Computer, game system, or just sleep.....PE is the only form of exercise most kids get....i have no problem with PE and im not a small person if ya kno what i mean....im the Biggest kid on the Varsity football team....Gym is where i go and warm up for practice or stay in shape during the off season.....and if i have a free block im in the gym running or lifting to stay in shape....the only people that are against gym are those that are anti-social or just plain LAZY!

[LiNHy POO]

it should be required!! most of us.. like me... dont excersie like we're suppose to... sooo PE will get us active... if we didnt have PE.. most us would be total couch potetos!!

[LatinaLady]

oh goodness why is this even an issue i likve p.e. its funa nd gets you active, i am like 80% sure that if there was no p.e esides joining sports many people wont do any kind of excersice

[ryfitaDF]

it should be optional, like art.

[WildGriffin]

Like half of America is fat.

It's time to get communist all up on this shyt. Get fit for your country.

Cause truth is...sitting around on your computer all day doesn't help things.

[craziplaya21]

i dont think it should be banned but it shouldnt be mandatory

[NostalgicRockChi...]

I think it should be optional. Let those who enjoy that class take it, but as for me and other people, I'd prefer another class.

[xquizit]

It should be required. With the high rates of obesity in the country, I think it's important to emphasize to our youth how important it is to stay fit.

[*NatiMarie*]

I personally love physical education and I'm glad that it's required. It's a way to keep fit and to reduce the risk of obesity...at times. Sometimes it doesn't though because some PE teachers don't enforce some of their rules too much. Some just come out with excuses, I've seen it done many times. I remember this girl never ran the mile because she didn't want to run...she didn't run. So sometimes I'm kind of doubtful if even having physical education can actually reduce the rates of obesity...ok, I'm contradicting myself a lot...

[Jiggapin0]

It should be required up until you finish high school. But PE grade should be based on participation. For example: (Don't grade people on how fast they can run the mile. You get an A if in the top 10% times.) That would be such bs cuz it's not fair to those who aren't in top physical shape but did their very best.

[princess2113]

o man i wish they wuld....i HATE PE...i know HOW to exercise...just dunt

[princess2113]

i wanna take 4 yrs of language and 4 yrs of orch...n still have optional core classes which i cant do b/c of PE n health...therefor im gonna have to pay 300$$ each...600$$ to take it....what happened to encouraging academics?

and a few weeks of playing around for 1hr or 45 min a day isnt gonna help much.....

[JessJR1022]

PE is good. A lot of people wouldn't get exercise without it. And c'mon...so what if you have to change....at least it's a class without tests and homework and assignments...all ya have to do it play. And you get to talk to other people during class

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

PE should be required, but not for a letter grade. it sucks to have PE bring down your GPA.

well there would have to be some kind of grade... or else you wouldnt do anything and then what would be the purpose of having PE?

I think that PE is good b/c it gives all the lazy bums that usually sit at home on their butts eating some exercise ... no offense to anyone.. that was pointed directly to me too haha!

Should physical education be required, or should it be banned?

it should be required!

kids dont get enough physical activity on their own, so it should be required so we arent all so darn fat!

[mai_z]

i really don't like P.E., and i don't need it either, but it does help those kids who are getting fat and obese in front of the tv or computer (*cough* *cough*)

[azndragn]

It should be required, because this is about your health.

i agree wit long...it keeps me in shap cuz im lazy

[m@dcow]

it should be required... but...
its simply a excuse for the schools to bring down the obisety rate... or its a disclaimer for if the student gets fat they cant sue the school for not making them excersise enough...

many schools conbine their cafeterias with their gyms.... so it's not really wasteing money.

students bodies must be developed at a young age, and they should get into the habit of playing sports, so later on in life they don't end up couch potatoes...

[bibliomania]

Even though I don't really like P.E., since my P.E. teachers are nutheads, I don't think we should BAN P.E.... But I believe that some P.E. teachers need to be replaced... because they're idiots and they shout... all the time. I don't know. I'm kind of getting off topic, but every single P.E. teachers I've ever had in the whole entire life were imbeciles... lol

[xrachx]

It should be required to keep students healthy.

[PinoyOtaku]

This one is a no-brainer...definitely must be required in the curriculim. I mean if you throw away PE, you just thrown away a portion of "America's valiant fight over obesity."

[177emories]

phys ed should not be required but an OPTION... for those who wnat to take it... should not be banned cause a lot of ppl needs the excercise even if they don't realize it.
