Children in middle and high school should not have to take Gym if they do not want to.

Many children get hurt in Gym class - both physically and mentally. If you take out mandatory Gym, this will reduce that chance. Childreb also in middle school and high school get enough exercise by going from class to class. Taking out mandatory gym will allow kids to choose other classes that will help them with a career in the future, such as psychology or forensic science. Yes, gym may help people as they get older, but the majority of people hate it. They get bullied and pushed around, therefore, gym isn't a good time for them and they just want it to end. They should be able to use that time to do something they will both enjoy and be able to use later in life. So, gym should not be mandatory, but a choice.
