Should Physical Education be a mandatory course throughout highschool?

[da warrior]

yes everyone who says no ur probably super fat...

 

[Revenge-ful]

Yes it should be, because most people are overweight. They don't get that much exercises and for my reason is that. I like going to P.E then staying in class doing work all day.

yeah it should be, theres too many fat people in the world, not saying i really have anything against fat people i just think in their mind they would be happier if they weighed a little less and they would have a better quality of life. also obesety cosnt the NHS alot of money every year why should taxpayers in the UK have to pay taxes because someone couldnt stop themselfs from eating??

 

[THAT DAM KID]

I think not. It seems unreasonable that children should be forced to exhibit their bodies and the like, and then be forced to run around if they don't wish to.

I don't personally feel physical education constitutes learning (although this is controversial), and feel that the primary reason for going to school is to be educated, ie to gain knowledge. For me, throughout my time doing physical education in school, I haven't learned anything.

if your argument is that the purpose for school is to learn at the highest optimal level posible, then you must not undertand that in order for the mind to function at an optimal level one must attain both a fit body and an apt mind. in that case then phisical training should be mandated at all levels of education.

wow some of you guys are very very dumb. Why wouldent you not take P.E if you had the option. rofl its an easy A you said it your safe peeps like here:

No, because why should i be forced to take part in something I don't like?

and heres one that makes me laugh its like who cares easy A omfg:

It's a waste. It does not keep us Healthy, sports do not Gym. All I do is sit down and talk because we are doing pointless activities that are boring and unhelpful in anyway.

It should be optional.

Note - My school all you haft to do is change one pieces of clothing every day and you get a 100.

Ok you see you need a good GPA for college so what? do you guys like math or something what would you rather be taking?......Its playing games talking to friends and getting an A for it.

SO yes definetly should be manditory to help you make good decisions I couldent see why if some one had the chance to take it but they didnt

Yes, it isn't that much anyways and I doubt it'll affect you a whole lot. You may miss a few classes, but so what.

NO, it makes the students think that they only have to excersize when someone tells them to. They should be taught that by their parents.
