![]() Since 1997, CPS allowed juniors and seniors to take only two years of P.E. or JROTC in order to graduate. According to the Board of Education, CPS high school students must once again take P.E. or JROTC for four years starting next year. Now this may or may not apply to all. There may be waivers available for those who wish to have electives instead, but this won’t apply to all students. There are some people who think having four years of P.E or JROTC is a bad idea. “I think that by having four years of P.E. or JROTC will take away some of our elective classes to choose from,” stated Esmeralda Vargas, Div. 611. However, our assistant principal, Mr. Newman thinks otherwise. “Personally, I think having P.E. is a good thing. Having P.E. for four years can also be considered a science class if we teach health, but it can reduce the amount of electives a student would like to take, like Journalism, Theater Arts, etc. Mr. Nealon, our Theater Arts teacher, also agreed. “I find that having P.E. for four years can be a positive thing; students will be exposed to a healthier lifestyle.” There are still many unanswered questions about budgets and types of P.E. classes that will be available. Let’s see if next year will produce healthier students.
