Not require physical in public schools for students who wish to pursue more intellectual goals.

Created by D.T. on February 06, 2013

The forced Physical Education in Public Schools will make less active students even more resistant to future exercise. Schools are a place where you should be allowed to pursue what interests you as an individual have. While required courses such as math, English, and a social science make sense, forcing an activity upon a resistant group will only make them resent the activity even more. If I wish to take a technology class in place of Gym for example, that should be an option. In conclusion, the people that complete their required gym courses do not leave looking like the super-humans that the program is supposedly supposed to mold them into. If an overweight boy (like me) enters a gym class. 99% of the time, he is going to leave exactly the same way, just like I did.
