Remove physical education as a high school graduation credit

Created by T.G. on February 06, 2014

I believe that physical education should not be a requirement for graduation. Physical education was put into schools so children can get a type of exercise during the day. However, when does your ability to run a lap determine whether or not you should graduate? Unless you are going into the athletic field colleges don't looks at your ability to climb a rope, run a mile, or do 100 jumping jacks. Some students feel that gym is ridiculing and don't want to participate because of things like that. Say a student with a perfect GPA does not complete their gym credit, what happens to them? So please take all of these into consideration and thank you
