Opposing Substitution and Waiver/Exemptions for Required Physical Education. A Position Paper from the National Association for Sport and Physical Education
Overview & Synopsis
It is the position of the National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) that all K-12 students should take all required physical education courses and that no substitutions, waivers, or exemptions should be permitted. Physical education is an essential and integral component of a total education. The National Standards for Physical Education define what a student should know and be able to do as a result of a quality physical education program. The unique goals of physical education are the development of physical competence, health-related fitness, cognitive understanding, and a positive attitude toward physical activity so that individuals can adopt and maintain physically active and healthy lifestyles (NASPE, 2004a).
