Instead it is used as a primarily preparation for college even though many students won't be attending. And secondly as a daily preparation for standardized tests that make the school look good or bad. You know how many standardized tests I've taken since I got out of high school? That's right, fucking none....but goddamn if we didn't practice for them everyday of my 4 years in HS. What a complete waste.

Using your body in a physical manner is something everyone of us does everyday. We should be all be trained in balance, strength, hand-eye coordination, etc. This is EVERY bit as important as math, science or even reading. Keeping your kid weak, flabby and sunless should not be an option for you just as sending them with a note to skip math because its too hard is not an option either. In fact, if you want weak flabby kids then home school them. The system that educates the majority of our population needs to put a very large emphasis on shaping us up.

Furthermore, from an education stand point, physically fit people perform much better on an intellectual level as well. One feeds the other. Strong bodies make for strong minds. This should be 100% common sense, kids who are exercised behave better and pay attention better.

ADHD, fat children, disease ridden schools, lack of confidence? Give me a motherfucking break. No shit kids can't sit still in class, they haven't gotten the first bit of exercise in a whole goddamn week. This is one more reason we are to fail as a society. Physical laziness.

+trillion

Although I would add that human/social skills are the most important thing to learn while you're that age.

Yeah, and could they have gotten even better grades had they exercised? Probably. Cardiovascular fitness = better brain function.

yeah, cuz a 4.1 is so much better then a 4.0........

common sense to me is that jocks are dumb
and smart kids and weak nurdy kids.

Its not about being the smartest in the school, its about being the best physical specimen that you as an individual can possibly be.

You wanna have a health care debate? The first step to a true solution starts here.

I wasn't required to take a class in chemistry for my linguistics degree. How is this any different?

I'm an electrical engineer, but had to take Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Strength of Materials, History, Sociology etc which has "little to do with my education". As long as I knew what classes I had to take beforehand, I do not see an issue with it. Now if the school changed the requirements during the year, then sure complain.
