Reminds me of the Chicken Fat song in my elementary school years. Had to do a fitness protocol.

President Trump signed an executive order bringing back the Presidential Fitness Test. I think this is a good thing. PE needs to be more rigorous in schools and more focused on physical fitness and less focused on games. It needs to stop being an automatic A for students. When a kid tries his hardest in Math but still struggles, we don't think twice about giving that kid a C. Why should it be any different in PE? Want to get an A? You better be able to run a mile without stopping and do some pushups and situps. Have medical issues and limitations? Then there can be reasonable accommodations just like kids with IEPs in academic classes.


Maybe everyone's favorite president can complete a fitness test first to motivate students. A big mac in one hand and chips in the other while doing a situp. Now that's the way to motivate America's youth!
