[quote=Anonymous]My son is a gymnast who practices 16-20 hours a week. By 6th grade, his coaches expect he will be competing at a national level and practicing 24 hours/week. But his ES principal won't even let him leave school 10 minutes early on practice days. I will definitely be applying for a waiver for him in MS and HS. It's not a matter of whether PE is easy for him or he has enough energy to do it, it's that I see no reason for a kid to have to do PE on top of all those hours of practicing. Muscles need a break. Plus, at least half of the kids at our gym who get injured are hurt during PE, not gymnastics. [/quote]
