No sitting around in gym class
The current participation requirements for a four-year high school physical education class are next to none. I suggest that every student enrolled in a physical education class should be required to actively participate for the entire time allotted. Over the years the obesity rate in high schools has been on the rise, in part due to the lack of exercise students receive. Students should learn to realize the benefits of daily exercise, and they should realize this at a young age.
