Kidz Get Physical

School PE, after years of relative neglect in favor of other subjects, is gainng new attention in the face of increasing obestiy and inactivity among youth. educators and healthcare leaders are working to make PE more engaging, inclusive, and veered towards a helathy lifestyle. At the same time, they are stepping-up efforts to ensure that all students have adequate instructional time in PE classes each week. Youth movement - focusing on fit!

Thoughts on PE getting squeezed out

Hey everyone,

your thoughts please...

Many of us hated PE (not me, of course), but at least we had it. Now physical ed classes and recess is getting squeezed from shcool schedules, and students have the price of inactivity to prove it. The only way schools can do something significantly different from what they are doing now is if parents and districts invest dollars and get more physical activity into the school day. If we value our kid's health we will have to just do it.

thanks :>

You are right..there is not enough PE at schools. Gio see the film "Supersize me" - 1 more reason to get more PE classes.(although I hated it when I was at school, cause in my country we tend to do a lot of running :-()
