physical health is a very important aspect of a balanced life -- yes -- physical education should be a part of a student's requirement.
-
When I was in high school in New York state, gym was required all four years.

I was in the best shape of my life when I was in tenth grade Gym, the facts I learned about running (breathing techniques) and weight lifting (reps, sets etc) really helped me to work out in a safer fashion throughtout college and beyond. I had a positive experience with it, and I don't recommend getting rid of it at all. I believe all schools in Ohio still require Gym, I'm not sure about the rest of the country though. I think it was only worth two credits also.
