PE is compulsery for the frist 3 years and then the last 2 years u can take it as GCSE. if you dont, u do one a weeek to keep in shape really but thats it. As for it being essenctial foer a job, it depends what you're going in for. Office? Nope. Physio? yes.

Persionallyl, i think PE should be dun more. the only problem wit it is little skinny * like me cant throw a  tennis ball, but meh. It still should be done, due to increasin weight problems and shit.

true. But i just hate phys ed when we dont get a say and we play a sport everybody hates, they should have multible groups you can go intoto play different sports. Its probably like that in other places.

but i dont think its essential, i mean, later on in  life, does anybody care how you did in P.E when your getting a job interview or something?

True that! School is about having fun too... So you could say that having a phy ed class is more of a goof-off class to keep you from going crazy sitting in a classroom 8 hours a day. Which, would make it essential still haha...

ITs just a plain health reason, otherwise kids will be more overweight than they are now. ITs not healthy to be overwieght, PE teaches people how to exersice properly and effectivly. It teaches people disapline.

I'm glad I finished high school just for that, I really hated it... We played volleyball and handball, I really suck at volleyball...

i know gym class is quebec is compolsury and depending on my schedule i have it 2 or 3 times a week for 50 minutes but my firsh high school in grade 7 we had it 1 time a week swimming 75 mins and 1 time normal gym 75 mins

and yes it is essential

i never really had a good gym teacher though, there were nice ones but they play garbage sports or we went canoeing in the river with 6 canoes for 30 people

i do believe it is.

amount of people overweight nowerdays....



anyway, RE is a pointless subject in my eyes, and its compulsory for me..

RE isn't really pointless if taught right... it helps you know more about other religions... hence having the knowledge not to offend others unintentionally. Ignorance can cause many problems in the world.

Of course a lot of places teach RE in the wrong way and use it as a way of preaching certain religions to people.

we are only taught one religion, we do not go into others.
