"The latest figures, for 2012/13, show that 18.9% of children in Year 6 (aged 10-11) were obese and a further 14.4% were overweight. Of children in Reception (aged 4-5), 9.3% were obese and another 13.0% were overweight. This means almost a third of 10-11 year olds and over a fifth of 4-5 year olds were overweight or obese."

Er yeah, I don't think it is a waste. The nation needs to be active.

There's been many studies that suggest PE will have little or any impact on a mass-amount of people's lives. Sometimes it's better to avoid the subject, especially when they get older. I could spend my time pulling my grades up than waste time learning small burst of dance routines.

The entire concept of putting a group of teenagers in a room to see each's abilities and body is terrifying to some, even more for though who are obese. PE should be optional like drama, music and art. In my school the people you'd expect to need exercise the most don't even take part.

If you want to do PE then do it out of school or as enrichment.

Coming from someone who skipped a good three years of P.E. in secondary school I strongly encourage people not to. I wish I had been more active during my younger teens and I cannot stress how important it is that you do exercise whilst you're young and fit tbh

I actually miss PE so much. Once you're out of school there's no one forcing you to participate in sports etc (I wish there was) you might find yourself becoming to busy for it and miss having actual set time dedicated to it. Try not to miss it, you might regret it!

Yes, but you dancing is your choice. You could choose a high impact sport or something?

Link me to your studies. Daily Mail not accepted.

here's pe and bad points:

can cause injury
bullying which can lead to insecurities and depression
feeling left out
less time to learn important stuff (unless theory)
lowers some people's self-esteem (being picked last, not being as good, everything you do is being judged)
more money spent on resources + teaching staff
pe doesn't make you like sports, being interested does
more kit is required and some can't afford all (nike shoes lol, ew)
forget kit and get in trouble, waste time lunch time/after school
people who aren't interested drag back those who are (take longer, waste time, etc)
separation of genders usually
genders get treated differently
obese kids aren't gonna get fit in 2 hours a week
