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.
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?
