Half Hour Of P.E. A Day!
Before you guys say that we are all Liberals, our Government in British Columbia for almost the last ten years has been Right Wing & Conservative in scope.
That being said, I have learned that the Vancouver School Board in conjunction with the Provincial Ministry of Education is asking that Elementary School kids
have 30 minutes of Physical Education a a day.
This year is Awareness of the need.
2009-2010 is something else.
2010-2011 is Mandatory!
While I think P.E. is good for kids overall, a Government "Mandating it!" sticks in my craw the wrong way!
What do you think?

It was mandated when I went to school.

I know quite a few who do not participate in PE.
I also know quite a few that do not receive "mandatory" immunizations...

I know about the immunizations but PE is mandatory for graduation in high school, I don't know about every state.

Re: Half Hour Of P.E. A Day!
It depends on the state as to whether or not it's mandatory. And there's always personal exemptions.

I am not saying I am personally in favor, but almost everything has a "religious exemption", including high school itself.
