So you think that having a TEST but not having the gym and PE time to learn those skills isnt a problem? You think that every school has a suitable gym and outside area to conduct this test? You think a kid doesnt need to run regularly in order to run a mile, for time? Like, its a great to have a test but the foundation is missing because schools have been gutted. Is a kid supposed to run a mile in jeans and a tshirt and then go back to class where they may or may not have AC? THIS IS ALL PERFORMANCE ART. |
Not convincing. We've seen the Clinton's and Biden. Trump is cleaner and more hygienic. Epstein was a Democrat. |
Right? And also, I thought school was for book learning and not pushing someone's agenda on other people. I don't give two figs if my kid can do a push up or run a mile. Who is the president to tell me that physical fitness is something to be celebrated and rewarded? Stop pushing your jock-boy values on my child! |
| This is dumb but the least of my concerns with this administration. |
Some minor level of fitness for kids is very important |
You can say that about anything but it shows that he's two faced and all about himself which is the root of every issue about him. Doesn't want the Dept. of Ed. Doesn't acknowledge that there's already a test. Wants a test with his name on it despite not being fit himself. |
So was Trump |
Because he’s ODD and obsessed with Obama because people actually liked him. He has no idea what it’s like to be liked by people he respects (he doesn’t respect his base). And because the name is “presidential”, he will feel like the kid’s achievements are his. He’s a cerebral train wreck. |
| Why don’t we start with a spelling test for this thread? |
Did you guys even bother to research if any of the was true? Because it isn't. Trump isn't "fixing" anything here. Obama changed the name to FitnessGram which is a similar assessment that also incorporates the PACER test -- it's more than what we used to have. The FitnessGram system emphasizes personal fitness goals and individual improvement, not just competition among students. So, can you say oops if not actually apologize? |
Yeah this is just a distraction....I enjoyed that he had sex offender Lawrence Taylor at his little distraction show. I mean it's quite fitting at this time. For those who don't know the NFL star raped a 16 year old girl-ironic huh. |
Oh looky here it's a basement BOT! |

This is so stupid. I failed the PFT both years I went to public school. And yet I am undoubtedly as an adult healthier than the average overweight MAHA loser living in a trailer and smoking cigs all day.
Let's Move was much better bc it started in the home encouraging parents to get their kids moving and eating better. Yay, congrats, you did some push ups. Your parents still feed you processed slop and let you play video games all day. Meanwhile, my mother went to exercise class every day, made us play outside, and only fed us unprocessed foods but bc I was on the smaller side I was deemed unhealthier than kids who were eating chicken nuggets every night. |
Dp here. True, but do you really expect kids to go out and get fit training for this? Lol. No kid is going to care much about something called Presidential Physical Fitness Award. They will take the series of tests, the athletic kids will get it, and nobody else will. Then they will all move on. I would argue that they will lose movement time because they will have to spend PE sitting around watching everyone else test. The Obama’s actually focused on getting kids to move more. |
