Failing Phys Ed Programs
With obesity among children rising steadily, health experts say our school's physical education programs are woefully inadequate. What do you think?
Eli McLemore,
Medical Secretary
"Well, what do people expect? How are today's gym teachers supposed to motivate kids, now that homophobia, verbal harassment, and physical abuse are off limits?"
Russell Sager,
Laser Technician
"The dubious benefits of a mandatory exercise program weighed against the undeniable fattening of America's kids? Sounds like it's time for an in-depth shirts vs. skins debate."
Monty Wendt,
Systems Analyst
"There are many reasons that a school should have an extensive Phys Ed program. For one thing, it's the best way to increase kids' interest in reading and math."
Freida Stallworth,
Metallurgist
"Oh good. It's our nation's schools that are to blame for my 200-pound son. Phew!"
Damien Shear,
Wellness Coordinator
"I don't want my kids missing out on all that gym class offers. That's why I give them cruel nicknames, make them shower together, and snap them with wet towels."
Pamela Gant,
Convention Planner
"You know, sex burns a lot of calories. Teens love sex. I can't see why no one has thought of this before."
