[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, do you realize that PE is more than just playing sports?

In middle school and high school, PE also involves health -- including mental wellness, drug/alcohol use, sexual education, and in HS, it includes part of the drivers ed curriculum.

Does your child get all of that too?  [/quote]
I realize that. Maybe he could participate for only that portion of the P.E. class?[/quote]

He sounds very, very special, OP. I hope the school recognizes this and gives him his due. He deserves to be treated completely differently from every other student in his school. Hopefully, they can create some new rules and a new schedule just for him.[/quote]

I'm not saying other students don't deserve rights he would like to have. They can if they want to or think they deserve them. I'm just saying he would get more out of being healthy and fit by sticking to his sport he wants to excel in although he plays multiple sports.[/quote]

You are exactly right. The school should have special rules for each child. I don't know why they can't do this. Good for you for fighting for this! I really hope the school can rewrite the PE policy so that every child's case is evaluated separately and special plans can be drawn up for each child.[/quote]
