U-46 students need more time in gym

In order to prevent the rise of child obesity, physical education should be a mandatory class for 45 minutes each day in U-46 schools. Physical education will improve students' health and also result in higher test scores. By increasing physical education, students could increase their academic achievement, decrease the obesity rate, and lead a healthy lifestyle for the future.
