<p>mommusic–Ha! Actually, I remember striking a few schools off of my list thirty years ago because I thought PE requirements were mickey mouse. I suspect both PE programs and my attitude have changed.</p>
<p>At my kids’ high school, there is a full-year PE requirement, which is generally done freshman year. </p>
<p>The freshmen in honors bio, though, only take gym 4 days a week, and have a 2-period bio class on the 5th day for a lab. They only get a half year’s credit of PE, and they do the same thing sophomore year with chemistry. </p>
<p>That used to annoy me, but now I think it is poetic justice that the nerdier kids end up with two years of gym! My D is not amused.</p>
