My daughter has academic team practices after school but during the day she would like to practice instead of doing stuff in Science that doesn't improve what she wants to do. Nevertheless, she still has to go to class.[/quote]

Ok but other people seem to be skipping P.E. to do other activities. Infact in just one of my sons classes, two people are doing it. If thats the ratio, I don't think they can be that "elite". My son players on a travel team, and practices 4:30 hours a day yet still goes to P.E. to learn the rules of something like basketball. His time could be so much more efficient if they let him practice with trainers during the day.[/quote]

Two out of 25 kids are doing it? Oh, the humanity!

OP, you have no idea why those kids are skipping PE. Nor is it any of your business. The state of VA requires PE. Get over it.

Actually both of them are skipping P.E. because they are in dance or are a gymnast. My I think is eligible to skip P.E. because of baseball. How do I allowed him to get out of P.E.?[/quote]

He needs to be in a specialized program that is approved by the school district. He should contact his counselor and start the paperwork now, it can take a long time to get everything signed off. His counselor and the person who runs the approved program he will be attending will have to sign. You need to provide your own transportation to the baseball program.

He will still need to take health and driver ed. That will take extra time that will need to be worked out with the school.

Kids who do these programs need to be ultra organized and self-disciplined. The outside program plus transportation take a lot of extra time out of their day and they need to be keeping up their grades at the same time.
