So, what's the problem, then?  PE is there for those who want it and not forced upon those who don't.  The PPs who are whining about the lack of PE or lack of physical activity seem like the types who don't want to "waste an elective slot" on PE, but instead want it forced upon everyone as part of the regular day.  If you have the type of kid who needs a physical and mental break during the school day, then the obvious solution is to sign up for PE.  My DD is thrilled that she isn't being forced to do PE.[/b]

A lot of the whiners are ridiculous.  You can't go to a charter and expect it to serve up everything you could possibly want for your child as if the charter is a buffet.  All of them have limited resources and will target a specific type of student so they can most effectively target their resources.  It's not a state secret that charters work in this manner.

Totally agree. Some of the best athletes don't need PE because they're playing travel sports or dancing 2-3 hours/day afterschool. Some of the worst athletes hate PE and consider its absence a huge plus. The lack of mandatory PE is just not something I can get worked up about.[/quote]
