• P.E.
    Mandatory (Pro)
    By Phoebe Durant


    I think P.E. should be mandatory because we are facing a crisis of epidemic proportions that will lead to more heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer before kids even finish high school. Students are becoming lazy, slow, and less motivated. P.E. helps kids become physically fit and more motivated because most parentS aren’t going to make their children exercise at home; when kids don’t go out after school. What exercise will they get without P.E.
    ?
    An estimated 300,000 people die every year from health problems related to obesity! I have also seen many children fall asleep in class and P.E. wakes children up with stretches and fun games!!! Speaking of fun games P.E. is also a fun time of the day with games like kickball, basketball, and even jump rope. I believe P.E. should be mandatory because it’s fun and fit at the same time.
