I think PE should remain compulsory from the starts of kinda to the end of uni and beyond. Correct me if I'm wrong but in Japan you do PE or at least morning exercise at work and the radios play morning music so all the kiddies can get in extra workout time. I think it's brilliant and should be done everywhere. But Westerners are lazy bums who don't move unless they absolutely have to so I think something like that would go over badly in this neck of the woods.
Is PE an important class?

I liked it a lot, and I was quite small and weak. I guess it depends on where you live, if people there are a-holes, P.E will be awful. I had it throughout my school-years until I was 18, and now I barely get any exercise.
So yes, and do serious bullying prevention.

In my school we have to dance and do cheerleading bull in PE. And we have a class that basicly makes you do a project for a whole year that takes a shitload of time out of your hands and if you fail at it, you flunk that grade. Dno if it exists in other countries and what name it has in english.
I hated PE with a passion, mostly because of cross-country. In my case, this involved running around the same field five or six times with everybody overtaking me or lapping me until I was the only one left going and everybody was staring at me, leaving me burning with shame, rage and humiliation at my crushing failure at life. Oh yes, and the teachers would yell at me to run instead of walk, despite the fact that I had started off running and dropped down to walking because I was hopelessly unfit, awful at running, and my throat hurt so much from taking huge, desperate, gasping breaths that it felt like it was about to bleed.
Not to mention the fact that when I was bullied for an entire school year by the same bloody girl, she was in my PE class and so I had to get changed in the same changing room as her and be tormented by her smug, sickening, over-mascara'd face whilst I failed at doing running.
So yeah, PE is fine and dandy for some, but not so much for others >.>

I found it a lot of fun except when the I had to play football with the waster's or the "jock's"(I'm english so I don't know the equilivent besides what all my friend's call them which is twat's), but when you have an hour of having fun with friend's at school I find that the best part of school.
Since I live in England I pay taxes for Fatties to go to hospital or live of benefit's without any push to lose any weight. So I think P.E is a very important subject in school because it pushes them to keep active and fit, and noone should get out of that excercise because the chances that P.E is the only excercise the fat kid's get is pretty damn high.

Dunno what PE is like in the states but in England at my school it was a once a week double period occurence. Depending on the season we did different things. Autumn was Rugby, Winter was Cross Country (ahh the pain), Spring was Rugby for the team players and assorted sports for everyone else (Hockey, Football etc) followed finally by summer which was dedicated to Athletics. Within this overall plan there was a rotating three week stint in a local indoor fitness centre where you could do either Badminton or a gym workout (this indoor stuff was only at year 10/11 and sixth form).
That was all good times, whether up on the field or in the centre. The only drag was Cross Country, man that sucked. It was winter so the fields were less field like and more bog like and the school didn't want them absolutetely annihilated over winter so they'd still be playable for Rugby matches. So we ran around the edge of the field, off the field to a local park, which we ran around, then ran back to our field, which we ran around again, then we got changed, and died. I think it was between three and four miles, good memories.
Finally, we also had PE theory, which taught us some applicable and extra specific Biology and the merits of a healthy lifestyle.
PS Apparently I've said alot about PE. If you've read it all have a +1 internet. If you've just read this post script and try to claim the +1 you, in fact, get -10. Moral of the story, put some effort in! (applies to PE too)

The problem is PE classes these days aren't well organised. kids are harassed so much in them, especially those who didn't grow up as "jocks" (as they're supposedly called)
PE in GENERAL yes is important, It keeps you feeling fit and that's the important thing.

I absolutely hated PE in school; put me off any type of sport or movement completely.
After finishing school I discovered Parkour though, and that's lead to me doing that, gymnastics, trampolining, rock climbing, weight lifting etc and loving it all. If we'd had more activities than football and a few silly coordination and cross country exercises, then I think I would've enjoyed it and it would have the potential to be an important class, but definitely not in its current state.

I think you can gain your answer from reading this thread. The people who were good at it enjoyed it, and the people that weren't didn't.
I personally have a love-hate relationship with all sport. Sport is hella fun with a bunch of friends messing about. When it starts becoming too organised, and playing with people you don't like, it can be horrible.
Also, the best sports are the ones you make up. Me and my friends invented something called "Crucket", which was like Cricket, but as soon as you hit the ball, it was one person's job to chase after the ball, and everyone else tackled the batsman. Freakin sweet

English, the wasters would be the lazy "I can't do sports so I'll just flop around or 'be cool' and just stand still" guys. They're annoying because in a team game they fuck it up for their whole team.crazyjay321 said:
The "jocks" in English are the guys in the school sports teams who think they are better than everyone else because they are in the sports teams; and they act like it's true. They're called, colloquially, cunts.
I hate PE. Its true that some people need to run around in school, but there are also those who don't. Making these kids do it is pretty cruel and always made me loath PE. That and also I didn't have any friends until High School, where PE wasn't necessary. So no I don't think that it is an important class.
Really? All I could think of in those classes was how I could've been doing something useful with my time.miso2002 said:
I disliked PE, it was the easiest place to get bullied, I mean I'm definately not unhealthy but I was bad at sports. Also my PE teachers are very old fashioned (I.e Bullying builds moral fibre.)
