Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

I feel like Physical education should be mandatory because people need there exercise. If they don't get physical activity they wont burn as much fats as they accumulate thus will get chubbier. They should be stricter during those classes of Physical education because a lot of the time people mostly just stand around. I don't want to seem sexist, but the ones that get the least exercise are the girls and they just mostly stand there and socialize. They need a way to keep everyone active, people need to get moving! They need this for there health!

people are just sitting on there asses all day playing video games when they need there fucking exercise. So fat people go out side and play football or something and people that are not fat stop playing video games and go and get your energy back and these are my words "peace out assholes
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Yes, because... 1st, It's a fun activity of the school day, that we get to have fun, and at the same time, do our excerse-- lose the weight we've been gaining, not all of it, but... 2nd, Obesity is certainly a proble in the U.S., so it would help! 3rd, People can have a moment that they'll eat the school's fake lunch, then lose some of it, like the fat when we sweat!......................................  I'm Done!!... Now go get a life, and lose some weight!!!!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Yes. It was easily one of the best parts of class and it's highly important to have the opportunity to get up and move around after you've been sitting for the better part of the day.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

YES, because some children don't understand anything expect physical education especially rich children of rich parents.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

physical education is a waste of time and therefore should not be studied in schools
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Obesity is certainly a problem in the US. However, we also have physical education classes in the US, and obesity rates are just climbing. If our PE classes are helping obesity at all, it's not by much. It would certainly be a better use of resources if we turned those space-hogging gyms into classrooms, and used all the money going toward PE equipment into payment for skilled teachers. Everyone agrees that math and science are the future of our country and our world- so we need to decide what really should be part of a school day. Not running around a track and getting nowhere at all- maybe learning how to find the distance around that track, or learning how the human body burns calories. Overall, academic education definitely needs to take the place of wasteful PE classes, and get our country ready for the engineering and scientific problems that are yet to come.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Obesity is a big problem. However, the dent PE makes in this issue is minuscule. Show me big progress, and I will participate in PE now. But it's not happening.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

how would you feel if you were forced to become fat and unhealthy? dont we all live in a country where we have human rights? our schools are forcing us to become unhealthy and inactive. We have to stop this. Schools should have physical education every day
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Physical education does absolutely nothing for the children's health and/or lifestyle. Let me describe my PE experience.Throughout my public education career, PE has been mandatory for each year. This has involved barely moving, standing talking with friends, half-hearted volleyball/dodgeball, yearly physical fitness tests that don't require effort, DDR, bouncing on fitness balls, and, most recently at my arts high school, watching sports documentaries and playing Wii Sports.Unless public education is reformed, health classes can teach children what they need to know about fitness and nutrition, because PE classes are severely lacking.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

Huh; well, in YOUR case, if PE was like that for everyone, it would totally be a waste of time. But it's definitely not like that in most schools. Maybe you just had a half-hearted PE teacher who was just there to get paid and didn't give a crap what the students did. But PE in my schools was pretty hardcore. We had lectures, we had mandatory monthly fitness tests, weekly to monthly running competitions, "fun" days where we'd do other stuff, like, archery. The only thing that made PE a lil less funner for me than it could've been was because of my hearing loss, I really didn't hear how to play anything or what to do or whatever. I had to stare at everything and everything trying to figure it out on my own or ask a classmate, and it made me look retarded. But it was definitely a nice break from the classroom; and it definitely ingrained physical strength into me because I still work out 5 days a week and want to be active.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

I'd love to see some more involved PE classes, like the ones you were lucky enough to have.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

The only reason your against it is because you had a bad experiance. Also because your teacher abviously didn't care. Your going off of facts on YOUR school not anybody else. So shut up and get our facts straight
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

Just so you know this is a problem all over the country. So I would say it is not just that person's school. This includes almost everyone in the entire country

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

I do not believe it should be mandatory.People who are on their ways to leading unfit lives are usually enabled by their parents, PE will not change that. Instead of being a safe, friendly environment for students to work on their health, it is a harsh class where sports, whether you like them or not, have their rules force fed to you, and a major part in the mark is the rules of said sports.Even if the teachers are nice and tolerant to the students, their peers might not be, because, well, to be blunt; Most high school students are assholes, it's the plain truth. They make PE an unhealthy environment for other, less fit or "uncool" students, and can result in emotional and mental scarring and/or dysfunction. Health can be worked on, painful memories can't always be so easy to mend.Also, it costs more to run physical education full time, and to every student in the school, then it would to run it as an optional class. Using less money to teach a quantity of students, more money can be put into the quality of the class, creating a better environment for the students who do participate.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Most people don't even participate in PE- and the ones that do are the already healthy, athletic ones. PE is a joke, a waste of time and a waste of money. I've never seen or even heard of someone positively affected by PE and I doubt I ever will. PE doesn't fight obesity. If someone doesn't want to be obese anymore, that's a personal decision they have to make and determination they have to withhold in themselves. PE doesn't provide the strenuous workout necessary to fight obesity- it doesn't even provide the workout for people to stay in shape! If people want to do it, PE can be a good, healthy thing for them. But ONLY if they WANT to... and most people just don't want to.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

while yes phys. ed. classes should still be in high schools they shouldnt be mandatory(especially not all 4 years of HS). maybe just having PE be an optional class and having one year be a mandatory thing instead of a continuous PE class. in lower grades, yes it should be mandatory because little kids are more likely to gain and lose weight in weird patterns. That Is All.

Go read my argument, it's on the yes side. :) I posted it before I posted that. And by pointing me out, you're not helping the argument either, you're just going to cause a dispute about something stupid. :)Actually, I just went to read your argument. Mine's right above yours. You wrote two lines. I wrote a paragraph. So if I were you I'd stay quiet or at least do the research first. ^_^

Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

phy. ed is just another class. students should start to be responsible for their actions by the time they are in highschool. if they are responsible with a car, then they should be responsible with their health. the tax payers also dont realize that they are paying for students to go swimming or play the whole hour.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Look, what I believe is that physical education should not be made mandatory and be optional in schools. Why? Because what's the need of it? What do you expect to get from P.E? Fitness, right? Well, fitness can be gained at home/gym too. Firstly, awareness should be spread everywhere that... basically that 'kids, don't eat too much, you eat a lot and don't exercise, you die.' I mean that kind of crap, the dangerous consequences of eating too much and exercising too little. Because whats the use of P.E at all if your kid goes to school, has P.E and comes back home and eats a dozen pizza slices? Its much better that you have awareness programs at school, and parents buy their kids a football, or whatever sport they want to play, so when their kids get home, they engage in sports, that will not only help in fitness but also build their character. Another thing is the freedom of choice. I'm talking about middle and high schools here. They are pretty much mature enough to decide whether they want P.E or not. They are able to consider the alternatives, analyze the situation and reach a decision so if you make P.E mandatory, you are taking away their basic right. In short, P.E proves to be useless and possibly an economic burden on the parents(very unlikely but still..). So there you are, P.E should not be mandatory in schools and even if you want P.E in schools, it should be optional!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

The schools have no control over what a child's parents decide to allow their kids to eat. Maybe if these kid's parents knew their children shouldn't be eating a dozen pizza slices a day, then PE classes wouldn't be such a waste. Either way, any amount of exercise is better than none regardless as to what they're allowed to do when the their parents are in charge.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: Yes!

So, if fitness can be gained at home or the gym, then you would also agree that there is no need for Literature classes? Students can simply read on their own and have book club. Many physical educations classes also include health components such as healthy nutrition and how to perform exercises properly so that students can feel comfortable when they go to a gym to work out. Many physical educators understand that we can't do it alone, we promote healthy lifestyles by leading by example and communicating with parents and students about other opportunities for physical activities within our communities.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

a PE teachers job must be really easy. they dont need to learn anything, all they have to do is yell at kids for an hour.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

Specialization Specialization SpecializationThat is the motto of Adam Smith, and that is why Capitalism works. Why do we all have cars, homes, and computers? Because of Specialization. But why reserve specialization only for the college and post college level? The progress of human civilization Depends on specialization. Without specialization, we will never have the ability to advance technologically and economically and as fields become more complex and more difficult to master, we will soon need to specialize at an even younger age.So how do we introduce specialization at a younger age? Simple, abolishing mandatory physical education. Let the nerds hang out with nerds in nerd classes and let the jocks hang out with jocks. They will specialize in their respective areas and then one day in the future they will be able to contribute to our society in their own specialized areas.

I'm in school and P.E. just make kids unhappy,a lot of people get sad because they are chosen last,they can't play for example I suck at P.E. class I hate I'm always the last to be chosen for the teams and it's not cool and it's not just obese kids there are many obese adults who did P.E. and didn't helped in anything

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

Gym class is a useless class that students waste time in. There should be a test and if people can not run a mile without stopping every couple feet they should join. There is also the fact people can join to get prepared for sports. Students should have that class time to use it towards their careers and not a class that is just there.

P.E doesn't help fat kids the fat kids just eat too much or they are growing and eventually they will be normal.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

especially swim it is because when there is a person that doesnt work how to swim and gets put to class where most of the kids are great swimmers the kid feels embrassed and all the other kids make fun that kid and also the embrassing thing is that if you are a slow swimmer the rest of the class has to waite for you. but i dont mind for physical education to be running and jogging i am not good at it but i can do it way better than swimming and if they are trying to stop the obesity cris they can help the group of kids that cant swim inviduale groups and make them better swimmers
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Absolutely not. Though there is the problem of obesity in America, it is not the school's responsibility to stop that. We get enough exercise walking to our classes each day, and more students than not take part in extracurricular activities. If they feel it is mandatory to have such a class, we should not get graded on it. Some people, like me, are just not good at sports. Multiple times, gym has kept me from getting on the high honor roll. Gym, for me, is first period- 7 am. At 7 am, I can barely keep my eyes open, nevertheless play a sport. I should not get penalized for this by getting bad grades.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

i'm not pleased with the idea to increase P.E. requirement. First, i thinks that it is not up to the college to require students to exercise. i believes that students have the responsible to choose whether or not to work out. Also, i says that there shouldn't be any P.E. requirement in the college. According to me, the college is a place to train our brain not our body. i adds that if students do need exercise, they can exercise on their own as me. i goes hiking and plays basketball in my neighborhood.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

No. PE has been around since more than 200 years ago. Today, the PE is barely taking any effect, mainly because of kids stuffing themselves up with junk food. We should come up with better ways to prevent obesity, such as a healthy eating campaign.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

OK no and yes I think p.e should be education which is teaching students how to eat right and live a healthy life style not making a fat kid run 10 laps around a track but showing them that eating right and exercise can BE FUN not having an obese child being bully because they can't run as fast as someone else. That is what physical education could be real EDUCATION. Students should not feel bad if they can't run a 5k or do 20 push ups
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

PE is a complete waste of time. Believe it or not most people are aware that exercise burns calories and is generally good for you. The other educational advantages of PE are already covered in health. Considering how many schools are struggling to budget, it seems ridiculous to keep teachers on payroll just to babysit a bunch of high schoolers. Also, while grades in academic classes are generally kept private, everyone knows which kids are "bad" at gym. IN no way does PE encourage students to get active, if anything it causes a lot of anxiety for kids who dont fit in. In my personal experience forcing someone to run a mile in a certain time doesn't promote activeness more than it does associate bad feelings with exercise.

Core classes are more important. Kids should be more focused on learning, and the competitiveness can cause bullying.

Sport should not be compulsaryy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So man kids get bullied in pe because they are fatter then others or more unfit! Bullies pick there victims each day in pe so all u guys on the affirmative team are WRONG!
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

if students so not have a physical education class then the obesity rate will go even higher than what it is now. that onw of the reason why also physical education reduce heart failure, improved physical fitness, weight reduction, self dicipline, and also stress reduction.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

NO WAY! There are many people in my school who are fat and two periods of pe a week and afterschool sports has NOT changed any of them a tiny bit.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?

P.E. should be optional in 8th grade. If students want to participate, then so be it. However, in 8th grade students have a lot going on. That time may be used more beneficially by studying.

1.) there could be alternatives such as yoga. 2.) bullying3.) changing in front of others4.) instead if your worried about obesity eliminate junk food in schools. 5.) it's not enough to cure obesity in the short time you have6.) school is for learning7.) Parents responsibility to see the kids are physically active, not the school8.) it should be optional9.) up to the parents to decide10.) only in elementary 11.) physical Activity is only half the battle, you need to eat healthy 12.) PE has been in school for decades and it hasn't changed/helped the obesity levels13.) knowing what the volleyball positions are isn't going to be on any collage applications 14.) Keep the money for the hard working teacher who stay up every night to grade papers and actually help the kids not yell at them
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

No. In a short argument, PE is a waste of money, time, resources, and do not in any way benefit society. We need to replace these classes with useful things, more Maths or Science, or basic life skills like how to replace a light bulb. PE is another example of school time wasted and contributes to the staggering number of unemployed people on benefits in our society. This simply wastes taxpayers money. Some say people excel in PE do well in life. Not true. If you look at students today, you see people who excel in PE but do poorly in academic subjects. People who succeed in academics do poorly in PE, but this doesn't really matter. In addition, many people already integrate some sort of exercise into their daily lives, and people should be able to choose their lifestyle. PE should not be a mandatory part of the curriculum.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

It must not be mandatory, but at least a requirements but not more often. How would you consider PE if the child is not so well? And if possible separate boys from girls, for boys assign some good games of physical education activity to them, same thing with girls, give them games for girls ideas.
Debate: Should physical education be mandatory in schools?
Side: No!

Well Well Well. I had muscle cramps all over when I am doing intensive exercises like doing a long run. You know, people are all made different, some maybe have longer stamina and are suitable for long distance runs and more intensive exercises. In contrast, people like me have lesser stamina and only suitable for less intensive exercises. Really, why force everyone to be the same?
