I could be using 90 minutes of gym to do other classes that could help me in my future.and its a waste of time cause you could just focus on the gym and forget about you learned in classed.
Debate: Should PE be required of all students throughout middle and high school.
Side: PE should be a required

PE is not a WASTE of time , as you think about it actually helps in the future, too. If you just realize it.

Side: PE should NOT be reuired

PE can be a waste of your because its taking away from your learning time and if you don't learn then you won't be in a sport cause they won't accepted you in nothing.

Side: PE should be a required

But you need pe because you need to take a break from learning for a little
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Phys ed is one of the best parts of school. That and lunch time. If school was all about sitting on your butt listening to your teacher blabber, that'd be friggin hell. I sucked at physical education in school by the way and I still was glad we had it and got to run around. I say it's important, not for obesity, per se, but because kids and teens are in their developmental years and if they're just sitting on their butts, they're going to make their life a serious habit of sitting on their butts. Plus, the ability to do run well by controlling your breathing and getting it adapted is a learned thing. If we didn't have mandatory running (well, my schools had it once a month, at least) to train us, I'd think running would be a good way to kill myself. Plus, the kids might like phys ed so much they'll join after school sports... which is always better than them getting bored and doing drugs or having sex or some crap.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

PE should be compulsory because it keeps us constantly fit and healthy. If you really dislike sports, then you can quit it when you're an adult. But when you're a kid, the best thing for you to do is study, play and exercise. If you prefer to be lazy and lie on the couch all day then you are most likely to get sick and unfit. Besides, PE helps kids be better at teamwork.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Look at your first sentence, your main assertion. Prove it. Where is your evidence?
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

If a short PE class falls short in helping kids stay fit, that would be reason to have longer PE, not to abolish it.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

It should be mandatory because being active and getting involved in sports, even through PE, helps children develop good habits later on in life. Plus, there's the benefit of working together as a team that doesn't always happen in other classes.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

P.E. does not help me personally build teamwork. The people who are really good get very mad at the people who are not as good as them. I personally can make myself sick in anticipation of P.E.

Definattley all those obese kids need excersise and its a whloe part of life of course it should be mandortory.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Across the country, schools have made physical education classes mandatory. Students must report to school gyms everyday, and try to improve their fitness. Some believe that schools should not make the class mandatory, but more as an elective. I think that schools should continue to make physical education in our country obligatory to all students. In a few cases, physical education is the only form of fitness that some kids receive every week. Not everyone plays a sport, so physical education sustains their health. If we do not make this class mandatory, some will not have any fitness to keep them in shape. This occurrence may cause the obesity epidemic to worsen, and may also arise many other health issues. Also, the marketing of video games and TV has increased tremendously over the years. Most kids stay home and stare into screens for most of the day. Although video games may benefit creativity, it promotes no fitness activity. By forcing children to take a physical education class, we are forcing them to make healthy decisions in life. Instead of staring into a screen, they are moving around and exercising their bodies.

You are 100% right because I am in Pe and they make us wear these stupid outfits. I think they make us wear those so the Gay coaches can see our private parts. and PE is just Stupid
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Yes of course. Apart from the health benefits, there's the greater respect for the outdoors, sporting camaraderie, teamwork, reflexive situational calculation to name but a few. Now drop and give me twenty for your insolence!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Completely agree. Apart from the obvious benefits to children's health (which is being plagued these days by junk food and video games), they learn a lot about teamwork, overcoming adversity, and a healthy way to blow off some steam.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

the problem is that PE classes these days do not do that. We do not need mandatory PE, we need better PE. Since most PE classes these days are every other day, once you factor in things like changing and attendance, the average PE student is spending 30-45 minutes 2 to 3 days a week playing basketball, which is not going to improve health drastically. What kids need is a class that teaches them good eating and exercise habits that they can use later in life to keep themselves healthy, not to be turned loose in a gym for half an hour.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

When is the last time you had a Physical Education class? Hmm? Because now a days, NONE of that happens. Well I shouldn't say none- if there are two athletes then there'll experience some camaraderie when they run house by themselves because everyone else "sucks". PE is a joke.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Obesity is a growing epidemic in the United States and it is said that seventy eight percent of Americans are not reaching basic activity level recommendations. As time goes by, technology increases and children are persuaded by different marketing techniques to play with electronics. Before the Xbox 360 and PSP, children would get entertainment from playing games and partaking in sports and other physical activities. Times are changing; however, and the dependency on electronics for entertainment is steadily increasing, which is causing physical activity level to decrease. By forcing children to take a physical education class, we are forcing children to learn healthy life skills, which is something beneficial to everyone. Exercising for a minimum of thirty minutes a day can do wonders for a child. Exercising helps release built up energy and it also releases endorphins, which are said to make people feel better and happier. Exercise also promotes better general health for all the body systems, especially the heart. Heart disease it the number one killer in America so anything schools can do to help promote healthy hearts and lifestyles is going to be beneficial to students. I think requiring students to take a Physical Education class every year should be mandatory unless the student is involved in some other sport or after-school physical activity or if the student is physically disabled. As obesity continues to be a problem in the country, we need to work together to teach children healthy habits as early as possible. By requiring physical activity in schools starting at the elementary level and continuing through high school, schools will be promoting healthy lifestyle habits that will hopefully be long-term and continue into adulthood.

Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

I would argue those are a result of lack of exercise. PE classes are very sedentary, and don't teach anyone long-term lifestyle goals. If PE is mandatory, people that don't want to be there (eg myself) will come in, do what you have to (maybe try to enjoy it), then leave. In fact, to the many people that hate PE classes, it may discourage exercise, because one associates it with really boring PE classes.I also think anyone that participates in a sport (such as myself) should be able to exempt PE classes. Because really, I got absolutely nothing out of that class.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Because of the rising number of overweight, obese, and morbidly obese kids and the consequently rising number of health risks involved with such a sedentary lifestyle, physical education should be mandatory all four years. But school districts should also hire qualified physical education teachers that care and are not just there for a paycheck. Physical education should actually educate kids and engage them in a variety of activities, not simply have teachers calling roll, telling them to walk for fifteen minutes and then they can sit down. But teachers/coaches should also be sensitive enough to know when a teenager simply cannot complete the task and is at risk of injuring him/herself because of so much stressed placed on the body that it is not used to. Some may say that it should be optional or only mandatory for the first year. But if it is optional, or only temporary, we are stuck with the same problem, Morbidly Obese America. If mandatory for all four years, it would get kids accustomed to physical exercise and make it part of their daily lives at least nine months out of the year. If implemented correctly, an exercise regime like that, coupled with more nutritious food served in the school would promote healthy living. More teens would lose weight the healthy way and therefore have a better self image. If we are forced to complete four years of english even if in the end we become mathematicians or scientists, why shouldn't we also be "forced" to complete four years of physical education which is more beneficial to us overall, whether we be english or math majors. It doesn't have to be a boot camp if you have caring coaches and a school district that places emphasis on the health and well-being of the child.

if physical educations r not ter then u wud b a couch potato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!howzz tat???
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Tat is wrong. Just because there isn't physical education classes at school doesn't mean that you are a couch potato. My school doesn't have physical education, but I consider myself to be pretty active. People can still go out and jog or join a team.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

the point of PE is for other people (the coaches) to assess how fit you are and improve on that, because you might have too high of an opinion of yourself
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

If you do PE regularly, you will get a much healthier body. Which means that you will look better, which will boost your self confidence and you'll feel better. So therefore you will achieve better, and that will increase your self esteem even more, so you will get good marks in school and get a good job so you will do well in life. If you don't do PE regularly, then your body will become more overweight, so your self esteem will get lower and lower until you will be too self conscious to go out in public, and to try new things, so basically you won't be able to enjoy life. Whereas people with healthier bodies ill be able to do those things without feeling scared that people will comment about their weight. So therefore if PE is compulsory, then everyone will be able to go out and face the world without worrying about what everyone else thinks about you.Usually overweight or small weak kids are the ones who hate PE. But if they get fitter and stronger then they'll grow to love PE which makes it a whole lot easier for them to do it more at home instead of lounging around being lazy, not bothering to do exercise. And when they grow up, they'll encourage their kids to love and do PE so they don't get teased at school. We are the top third obese country in the world, and with our growing population of around four and a half million, 55% of them are obese. 25% adult, 30% children. That's a lot of overweight young people, which are almost always the main target for bullying in the schools. There is also the small and weak kids, who can't defend themselves. But if there is PE in all schools, the obese youngsters will have less fat and more mussel, and the weak ones can build up mussel.Some overweight girls will try on cool clothes but decide that they look bad, because most of the clothes that girls like wearing are tight and thin so they can't wear them because their too self conscious about their extra fat. So they'll be stuck in baggy old-fashioned clothes that will make another excuse for teasing and bullying. But regular exercise will make them look much better and healthier so they'll actually fit into the clothes that they like.

Side: Yes!

I think it definatley should be manditory. when you look on to the streets at kids playing they are most likley over weight because they eat to much and dont get enough physical exercise.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

schools should have PE because the school i attend only has pe for middle school not high school we are a middle and a high school combined. because the lack of physical education in our high school many students are out of shape and have developed many bad non active habits and as our first year in sports our sports athletes have shown how hard it is to perform simple pre season conditioning and they quote "if we had PE conditions would be easier and would have made conditioning simple" the lack of exercise had caused them to only accomplish only 3 push-ups!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Because real PE lessons provide chances to people to realize on what they are capable of doing,so it will strengthen the self-esteem leading to them being productive in their society.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

i think that PE clases should be obligatory in school to help the problem of obecity.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

In my opinion I think that it should be obligatory to have PE classes in schools because it offers children a bit of exercise. If in every school of the world PE classes would be obligatory there would be much less fat children. Of course also some health classes should be included so that children know how to have a basic diet and so they won’t be obese anymore.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Most people think that PE classes are completely useless because the only thing you would normally do in a PE class is run around. But there is more to a PE class then just running around the field for an hour. With physical education you can get muscles, you can become stronger, it wouldn’t be so easily for you to become fat (of course you would also need to keep a balanced diet) and for further ages (like 60-80) it would prevent you from having heart attacks. With the help of this class there would be fewer obese children around the globe and more fit and strong people.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

There are many arguments for and against mandatory PE. On the one hand, it would take away a period that could be used for academic purposes. On the other, there are growing numbers of obese and sedentary youth in our schools. However, physical education classes will not do much to make a dent. There is simply not enough time, money, or equipment to facilitate millions of students getting into shape. A better option is a "Wellness Class" to teach students good eating and exercise habits, and to do some exercise as well to get students in the habit. As the saying goes, Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for his whole life. Should we give students a temporary fix, or teach them to be healthy for their entire lives?
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

I agree with everything said her because children should learn how to live a healthy lifestyle. There should be stricter curriculums that schools are required to follow so less people in our country are less likely to be obese.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

I think it is great idea to make physical education be mandatory in school because it will be healthy for the student to become a healthy person and they will not have the risk of obesity.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

physical education should be mandatory cuhz 112,000 people have died in the year 2011 so far and it's because of the lack of physical activity and people are becoming obese!!!!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

I will agree with this along with say that I believe a general outline or structure should be in place that leaves room for teachers to put their own spin on it. What I mean by this is a course guideline that involves three main aspects such as Health education, physical fitness exercises of course, and a emphasis on teaching the importance of teamwork. Just like any class or subject, if you have a teacher who's heart is not into it then the results will be limited. When kids are at recess they seem to form clicks and the great thing about P.E. is it creates the environment that everyone gets involved together.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

The answer is so obvious. Teachers should let everyone exercise so they can strengthen their mussels and get thinner and more flexible instead of fatter and more lazy so they won't get bullied as much.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

How are we supposed to curb childhood obesity if we don't start at a young age?
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Exercise actually increases brain activity. Kids should have some sort of exercise before school, sometime during, and after actually if we are going to be smart about educating kids.And obesity is a problem as well. Kids are getting fatter and fatter just as we are canceling PE, sports and bitching if a school should dare serve fruit instead of tatter tots... because tatter tots are more American I guess? I'm not going to ever understand that mentality.At any rate, kids need to be taught how to be healthy early in life. It gets harder as adults and I can't even count how many fat people I've met who think "it's natural" until you see how they eat and realize "this motherfucker never even learned how to eat and exercise."
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Physical Education is as vital as any other subject. 1) Without it we would develop a nation of unhealthy, overweight slobs. 2) Not everybody is Mathematical or Literate therefore having subjects like PE on the timetable are the only lessons that some children look forward to. 3) PE and Games taught me discipline, health and fitness and allowed me to develop a range of skills over a variety of sports. As someone who didn't enjoy school I believe it is the schools duty to engage and inspire everyone in a variety of subjects. I wouldn't have survived school if it was just acedemic subjects all day. Furthermore exercise releases endorphins that relieve stress, keeping children calm and ready to learn in other subjects. Finally if we listen to all the people that had a miserable time during PE and Games at school and get rid of it then where do we stop? Do we then get rid of Mathematics because people struggled with fractions? Do we get rid of English because people felt ridiculed because they couldn't spell? Music because they can't sing? Art because they can't draw? Or do we try and promote physical health and well being as one of the main priorities because that is what it is. Whats the use of having all the mathematical, scientific knowledge in the world if you're dead before you're thirty because your obese??

This will help kids learn good qualities like leadership and discipline. This could also lead to help childhood obesity. It is just the fact that kids are not pushed in their homes to have any physical activity.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

thats so stupid. physical education teaches kids that it dosent matter if your a nerd or a jock because if theyre all in the same class doing the same thing then theyre all the same in the aspect that they only pass that class if they put forth effort. and from personal expirence sometimes there is a jock underneath the nerd outside
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

PE doesn't teach kids that everyone is equal in any way. when you have to wear horrible outfits for PE you're still getting made fun of. just because you're in the same class doing the same thing doesn't make high schoolers or kids in general any nicer. People are jerks period.

If that's the case, then why are people picked on at all? If the people are in the same class (academically), then they are doing the same work, but they are continuously picked on.
