Should Middle Schools require P.E?
A hyper classroom, pounding with noise, no one sitting still, pencils being thrown across the room, teachers have no control. Can you imagine a school full of middle school students with too much energy and no exercise...in multiple crowded classrooms? Students need to have exercise, so really, should middle schools require P.E? Well, should they? Yes, I claim that middle schools should require P.E because it can benefit all students in all different ways. It can benefit them in ways such as developing skills like endurance, social, and physical sports, like soccer skills.

It makes students feel better physically, emotionally and socially which will definitely rub off to make their peers and teachers around them feel great. Lots more smiles! It keeps everyone healthy, which makes for a healthy environment. Staying healthy is always an important factor in everyone’s
