Gym class is a very important part of school for many children, but it is not required in all states for students to participate in physical education. There has been a debate regarding this topic for many years, and many argue on both sides, however this type of education is very important for young people to fight obesity, improve their performance in the classroom, and develop skills that will last a lifetime. I believe that physical education should be required in all states, especially knowing that obesity is an epidemic in our country. Everyone should be made aware of the benefits that come along with this education, and by implementing these laws, people will understand how important these classes truly are. I have taken physical education throughout my years of school, and I have seen firsthand the affect it has on people, and I still use skills that I learned in physical education even today. I know that physical education is important, and if all states implemented physical education into their daily lives it would have a great affect on our country.
