they should have made PE mandatory again instead.

You mean to tell me PE ISN'T mandatory???

Growing up PE was mandatory for me from grade school up until 11th grade. And it should be now! These kids need exercise, if only for 45 minutes out of a school day. It physically stimulates the body.

PE was fun. In high school we had archery, bowling (at the bowling alley), swimming, softball, tennis, track, in door hockey, volleyball, soccor, basketball, gymnastics. We had it all.

I don't know if they would even have swimming in PE anymore.

I bet some of these youngsters would really like to get outside the classroom, in the fresh and enjoy some exercise, playing soccor, kickball, hop scotch, jump rope or whatever is available to them.

Not anymore. Hear tell, lot of parents responsible. Did not like it if little billy or betty didn't "get picked", hurt their little egos, or perhaps sammy or sally had an allergy or was "just not the competitive type".

Now kids are coming out of school not only stupid - but out of shape as well. . .
