PE Marching Band and Sport Waiver

I want to teach because i want to help other kids. I want to be a health and PE teacher because i feel that these two classes get taken for granted and schools are starting to cut PE or give students an easy way out. The schools give the kids the choice at the high school level to take a sport waiver or "PE Marching Band." This means that the students get the choice to get credit for the PE class without taking the class. This is not a good thing. With the way that obesity is taking over our country, students need to have PE in their lives so that they can learn about different excersize strategies and what is best for them to work out in. If students are not getting this information and develpoing healthy habits when they are young, they are more likely to never develop the habits and therefore their children have a better chence of becoming unhealthy. This causes a downward spiral for our society. I am against students waivering out of PE whether they are an athlete or not. This is an experience that every student must have in their lives.
