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]
I was a gymnast and got excused from PE. My coach (and I ) didn't want to risk an injury while playing basketball or volleyball or whatever the warm body PE teacher let us do while he read the newspaper. It might seem stupid to you or like I was a snowflake but I had given my entire life to gymnastics and didnt want to be injured while messing around in the middle school gym with a bunch of undersupervided adolescents.

This is exactly my point my son is getting nothing out of P.E. except socializing which he does with his baseball team as well. All the kids just seem to fool around and don't stretch, don't play their hardest, and don't follow the rules right because they are adolescents.[/quote]

that sounds so awful, OP. No wonder you are dedicating yourself to this cause.[/quote]
