In high school, gym was not an option in 10th grade. I had one hour of gym at 7:30 in the morning and sometimes I'd feel sick after. So in 11th grade i decided to take a break. I gained 15 pounds! I could definitely see the difference in my body and my healthy habits. I took gym my senior year and lost all the weight. KIDS NEED PHYSICAL EDUCATION!!!!! Everywhere we look now, there are obese people and children! They are definitely not doing something right...
At my high school we only had gym for one year. It was only a half of a year, because the other half was actually sex education. We did do many sports. At the school I work at the kids do complain. They are in 7th and 8th grade and seem to be in worse shape than me. Nowadays, kids do seem to be more out of shape, they love to sit in front of the computer and television.
i was able to see through my school years that the higher the grade the less gym time there is. over time the gym period was cut and more book learning was being put into place. also with today world more people are behind the computer or tv and not out and doing physical activity's.
When I was in my school years(in China), I have to take P.E. class because it was mandatory. and back then I did not drive, I had to walk to school or rode bike. so I had enough excise each day. But the life style and food are totally different in USA. For example, the food potion is too big and it is contain too much sugar for me.
