No. PE is usually a freshman course to get it out of the way.


I think it depends on your kid and what else they’re taking. That said, the kids I know have taken it in 9th or 12th.

No, it's not. Read the thread.
Bike riding is a unit in PE there.

Pe should be an option to real teachers who need a break. As all teachers are paid the same all teachers need to split the overtime hours and probably the best way is to make pe teachers grade papers and let real teachers have some time outside standing around and having a break.

Mine took yoga her freshman year, and it was a great break in the middle of the day. Also generally didn’t require changing clothes, if she planned ahead.


Same for my 9th grader

When was the last time MCPS taught drivers' ed?

No. Driver's Ed is taught by outside companies not connected to MCPS.

Semester. But you can take two semesters.
