PE: Physical Education, or Public Embarrassment? I believe exercise is extremely important, especially for young people as it generally leads to healthier, more active lives as adults. However, for a lot of people sports do not come naturally, and that is okay, but it is not okay for them to be embarrassed about it, or get a worse grade because of it. Just because you get a D+ on your tennis serve does not mean that you are not an active person. If PE is being graded, it should be based on how hard someone tries, not how perfect their serve is. I do know a lot of people who would enjoy P.E. more in high school if it wasn’t so stressful, which won’t make anyone want to exercise.
