Gym class good for body and mind
The physical education requirement in the high schools of Elgin Area School District U-46 is no good. Four years of physical education should be required in order to graduate.
Taking all four years of this class will greatly benefit the students in life outside of and after high school. These classes will insure the health of the students at the very least while they are still in high school.
Physical education also teaches the students important life lessons needed for future happiness and success. All in all physical education is very important for all people to know about. Having the requirement of all four years in high school can only benefit the health and lives of the students.
