Even when students are taken away from an academic course and replaced with physical education, their academic scores do not change and may even improve. “More time in physical education, therefore, may help students perform better academically. Physical education should be promoted for its many benefits, and fear of negatively affecting academic achievement does not seem to be a legitimate reason for reducing or eliminating programs in physical education” (Carlson, Fulton, Lee, Maynard, Brown, Kohl, & Dietz, 2008, p.726).

There are some students that aren’t the best at physical education and are behind in grades. Although helpful for people’s health, this is unfair to make it compulsory especially when they aren’t good at it. When year 11’s and 12’s are doing SACE subjects, for people that aren’t that skilled in physical education they would be wasting a subject where they could actually be doing something they enjoy and something they’re good at. Doing that would then bring their ATAR score down and perhaps prevent them from getting the right marks for the university of their choice.
