Online phys ed takes hold in Minneapolis
In an article in USA Today, Online phys ed is taking hold in Minneapolis.
(Jacob Miller) …was finding it hard to complete his physical education requirement while balancing studies, sports and a social life. Then Miller discovered that through a new online class he could fulfill his phys-ed credit after school by playing on the Ultimate Frisbee team.
Students are able to fullfill their Physical Education requirement by documenting on line a physical activity that is done 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time. A parent or coach must confirm that the student did the activity and students are required to do a fitness test at the end of the semester.
this may be an easier way to take your phy-ed but i know that now all parents will make sure their children will do their phy-ed at home and their parents will confirm that the child did it even though they did not.
I agree, Stacia. There are parents who would give their children credit when they in fact did not do the activity. There are so many things going on after school hours, that I don’t know how some students could even fit in a physical education program. By the time dinner and homework is finished, it becomes difficult to do anything outside because of lack of daylight.
