Sports being compulsary in schools

in my school its compulsory, theres core and GCSE, i took GCSE, and i use core as a chance to go for a smoke!!! so im glad its there! but you have 4 hours a fortnight (we have a 2 week timtable) of P.E. for core, and 6 for GCSE. some times a do core, coz i am a fitness freak!

We have 1/2 hour EVERY day, and you have to be in it. It's better now than it was when we had long sessions though.


I think that making kids do it on school canmake them do less of it elsewhere, because you get mocked for being bad in it. It's more socially acceptable to be bad in all other classes than PE.

I tink we sud ave a choice in whether we want to do sports in school. Last gymnastics and I hurt my back, pulled a muscle in my arm and neraly broke my neck. (not at the same time)

People who get sports or PE as we call it are so lucky. I've moved into a different timetable where we don't get it anymore, it's so good to be able to have a run around once a week and get a break from normal classes with your friends. It should always be compulsary unless you have a reason that would make it unreasonable to do.

You have to do it at my school until end of third year, in forth year you can go to the computer room.

But I don't think making it compulsory for everyone will make much of a difference, if you don't want to do PE you just say you forgot your bag, or forge a note that says you're sick and then you get the rest of the hour to doss around.

I think it should be compulsory, people have started getting lazy, i think everyone should have to do it, whether they like it or not

We have one hour PE every day. I love it when we run, but I hate it when we do sports. I suck at it.

It's a good thing. I'm not an active person, so it helps a lot.

I think that they school's should have PE. but should have differnet types of PE.
some kids-like me-suck at basket Ball,Foot Ball,soccer and stuff like that.
They should have Swiming and Rock climbing and stuff.

There's a lot of controversy in my area about whether sports should be compulsary in secondary schools. In my opinion it's one of the few ways teenagers get exercise these days, so it should be compulsery. What is your opinion about it?

So? We shouldn't be forced to do anything. And what if one were too completely despise the selection of sports?
Forcng people to do anything that they don't want to do only causes despair, hatred, and a need to rebel through any means necassary, you're advocating the implementation of a crime-spree over excersize.

School itself should not be compulsory.

We had required physical education, which to me was worse than gaining a few pounds. Sports in my area are just another way people make you feel like shit.

its compulsory at uor school....5 years all we played was netbal and the guys played rugby..i want to play ball with a load of sweat boys..but thats jsut me.....and if its not that its dodgeball...which...well (breaks down crying) is painful when tis against the boys

i always liked it, but maybe thats because im a natural athlete

very good point, It isn't compulsary at our school. I don't take any sports, fact of the matter is I have enough shit to do

yeah sports are compulsory in my school, i hate playing really competitive sports like netball or football esp hockey! but we've been doing yoga and rounders which are more enjoyable and less competitive so i don't really mind. I'd say it should be compulsory but teachers should let everyone do it at their own pace instead of pressuring the ones that aren't good at sports and making fun of them etc

good point,

I think its a good thing, I don't really do much sport otherwise, though I do do some.

Its stuff like running and gymnastics I don't like. I love the summer sports. It would also be cool if we could do stuff like rock climbing too.
I had a really nice p.e teacher, but then I got moved up into the higher set so now my techers not so nice. But after a while she was pretty good.

But there are just so many kids who dont exercise though, so its good for them. I'd like to do more at school too. But that won't happen

i hate p.e , it's pointless cause when you want to run or play tennis or whatever...you just go and do that..you don't need a friggin lesson for it. anyways...it's pointlesscause p.e wont get you anywhere. unless you wanna be an athlete.
