Today’s Sacramento Bee is reporting a new movement to promote fitness. For 500,000 unfortunate students out there in many districts, the new rule is: if you fail 5 out of 6 PE standards in 9th grade, you have to re-take PE in 10th grade.  Reading this made me flashback to my nightmare-past in all its Adidas glory.   

It’s not that I believe that students shouldn’t be fit, but many of these physically failing students wait with baited breaths (I was one too, can you tell?) for the promise of a sans-PE day.(...)
Read the rest of To P.E. or not to P.E.: that is the (fitness) question (1,011 words)
