Students who participate on any high school sports team should be EXEMPT from Physical Education ...

High school athletic students should not have to take physical education class if they don't want to! They are already physical everyday, there is no need to waste their time at school. This could also motivate non-athletes to join sports teams!

Why is this important?

As an athletic student, I feel gym class is a waste of time. I would rather be educated and be focused in other areas in school instead of being educated on physical activity, which I do everyday after school on my high school swim team. High school athletic students should be exempt from physical education class if they so wish.
