<p>We have to take gym(every other day) all 4 years in my school along with one year of heath class(every other day as well). Or if you dont want to take health, you could do a summer assignment</p>
<p>Were not required to take any gym classes at all here in Oklahoma :P</p>
<p>4 years of gym (NJ).
It’s important. I’ll always remember what my gym teacher said last year.
“No one has ever died because they forgot a theorem or a state capital. Lack of exercise regularly kills people.”</p>
<p>I just thought people chose to leave it out? I heard some schools reconfigure your GPA without classes like PE, etc. In virginia, we have PE in 9th and 10th grade only. Both years, one quarter is devoted to health and in tenth, an extra quarter of PE is Driver’s ed.</p>
<p>The fact is - Everyone who exercises regularly, dies!</p>
<p>I hope to take gym next summer. I don’t like gym. I just want to get it over with. People told me summer gym is more fun, they go to parks, swim, boat, and stuff. in my HS, there is one credit requirement for the gym class.</p>
<p>We’re required to take a semester health class, and then three semesters of gym. If you’re in band/orchestra or take a language for four years, you can get some of those credits waived. But my school also has an aerobic walking class and yoga, so there are options that aren’t grueling.</p>
<p>At my school, if you do a sport outside of school, you can opt out of gym.</p>
<p>
I wish it was this way at my school. I’m doing 2 sports, it’s not like I’m not going to be getting any exercise. So, I’m mad that I have to waste my time in gym class. Though health class at my school is going to be hilarious. In my brother’s health class, they had to make a board game about male genitalia. I think that’s the class I’m looking forward to the most.</p>
<p>Well, since NYS is an asswipe, we have to take four years of gym. It’s actually two credits, with a half credit each year.</p>
<p>It really stinks. I have to drop band in order to make gym fit with my IB diploma schedule.</p>
<p>All we need for graduation is one PE credit.</p>
<p>Some of you guys are so lucky. Here in Illinois it’s a required four years of gym (except one semester where we take health). Every single day for four years. Out of all my friends who went to different high schools, my school had the most difficult gym class as well. My friends would complain about how they have to do the mile at the end of every semester, and I would just stare and say, “*****, I have to run over a mile at least once a week.” Thank god I just graduated.</p>
<p>We have a 1.5 credit requirement, but you can wave it with school sports at .25 per season, or club sports at .5 per 150 hours.</p>
<p>At the first high school I went to we were only required a semester of both health and P.E and it was done consecutively. Basically we would have three weeks of p.e and then three weeks of health and we would switch off so three times each and of course, it was readily BS’ed. </p>
<p>Now at the school I am currently attending they take P.E seriously. Like most schools mentioned I have to have 1.5 credits of p.e and then a semester of health. So typically people here take p.e for a full year their freshman year and then p.e and health sophomore year. So when I moved here I had to take more P.E…and they take it so seriously.</p>
<p>i have no gym next year either. but i got gym and lunch taken out of my schedule to take college classes at a local college. i would get my gym credits by walking to the college, but all of the people who took the class before said that they just take the bus and still get their credits…wow…</p>
