Next school year, middle school students in the Bakersfield City School District in California will be spending more time in physical education class. That's because the state requires middle schoolers to have an average of 40 minutes of PE per day. Many people argue that getting regular exercise is a big health benefit. But some people say that daily PE classes take time away from other important classes, such as math and science. What do you think?

I think they shouldnt require pe class every day becouse math and other classes are more important than pe.
I think they should have PE every day for 40 minutes because obesity is gaining in middle schools also high schools.
I think schools should require PE classes every day. Because all kids need the exercize. Plus, PE class is a fun way to get healthy.
I think it is a good choice to have PE every day. It's good exercise too. It can also be fun for some kids.
I think you should have P.E everyday because we need it kids today don't get a lot of exercise.
I think middle schools should have 40 minutes of PE everyday, because in middle school you don't have recess so that makes up for it.
Of course they should. You don't want to just stay in your seat learning for about 6 hours. Someday you'll be thankfull because your athletic and aren't fat(no offense). People who oppose this idea probably are lazy and aren't athletic. Reasearchers say that the average kid needs at least an hour outside of being athletic. But thanks to homework and lazy people, most people can't even go outside for 10 minutes. So every school SHOULD have PE every day.
I think that middle school stufents shouldd be required to have P.E. everyday because it is good excercise and it could also be fun.
I think they should have PE everyday because its a fun, and it's good exercise.
Well, there is three ways to think about it. You can think...
some people really NEED the exercise.
Or...
Some people might have assmha or problems that make them not be able to do alot of exercise.
Or...
there are other school projects and activities that are more important.
Personally, i LOVE P.E. :D
I think they should require PE every day because it helps kids stay healthy.
I think in middle school we should spend more time in PE because we don't have recess. Also, PE can sometimes be fun.
I think all shcools should require 40 minutes of PE a day because kids now go outside like once a day play for 10 minutes then go inside to watch tv.But if they had 40 minutes of Pe a day they would go outside more and be healthy.
I think schools should have PE because kids need exercise, kids have fun and its healthy.
I think PE should be required every day because; when else are they going to get exercise? During all of those other classes that people say are so important, all the students do is sit at their desk!
yes because it is a good exercise and it gives us a break from class and work.They are also talking on the news about the percent of kids that are over weight.So i think it should be a required thing to have gym every day. Another thing is that when kids go home they do their homework eat shower and go to bed so they dont get exercise every day.Also on the weekends they probaly just stay in bed till 12:00 - 2:00 ,so when they wake up they just eat and then go to a friends house and at the friends house they watch t.v. or play video games.So we only get exercise when they are at school.
I think they should Require PE class every day because all kids need to exercise and some kids just stay around all day doing nothing but playing video games. And exercise is healthy and PE is fun.
I think PE class should be everyday bcause PE is the only place you can be active in middle schoool.
yes yes yes yes! couse p.e. is a really good time(at least here!)so yes yes yes yes yes!!!
i think they should require pe every day because it is very helpfull for exercize.
