My former high school is no longer requiring physical education for fit students, instead requiring them for unfit or overweight students.

My former High School has changed policy for PE, requiring only unfit or overweight students to participate.

At the begining of every school year, all students are required to pass a physical test to access whether they will need PE. This is required for grades 9-12. The tests include height/weight accessment, pushups, situps, curlups, and a mile run test. If the student passes the test, they don't need PE, if they fail they will be enrolled in PE class. If a student continues to fail the physical yearly, they would essentially require PE up to 4 years.

The goal of this new policy is to make PE a potentially judgement free course, by requiring the class only for unfit and overweight students. It also modifies activities around unfit and overweight students so they won't have to perform excessively strenuous exercises that fit students can accomplish.
