| hops_scout, I second your opinion! Across the board physical activity in HS in the long run will be more beneficial for our society than every kid taking 6 APs per year. Our SD requires 2 yrs of HS PE and Health. PE req. can be waived by participation in HS athletics (1 season of HS sports equals 1/2 semester of PE, and there are teams with no "cuts" for participation), Health can be taken in the summer, at a CC or on-line. Lots of options for band and arts AP-crazy kids to free up that PE slot for other classes. |
