When I went to school in the late 1800's, er, in the 1970's, physical education was pretty much mandatory unless you had a doctor's note. And even then, you didn't get to skip it for another subject. I hadn't realized they took it out of the school day. I agree that it will help kids stay fit, but I just hope that they have exemptions for kids who are not physically able to participate in some things. For instance, most of the physed teachers I ever had didn't care if you were having a heart attack, just finish the 20 pushups. All kids are different and need to be treated individually rather than one blanket program that doesn't work for everyone.
