As I stated in my earlier post, I took it in my health class which is LS management by any other name. Besides, even if it went into a PE class, it would hardly cause an obesity epidemic! It would probably take only two weeks to complete, if that. The kids will be obese either way if they don't change their sedentary lifestyle and diet. It's their choice to do so.

Don't get me wrong, CPR is an excellent course. However, it seems more like a Life Management Skill rather than PE. The children need all of the excercise time they can get in that 1.5 year timeframe.

Since health was a mandatory credit, I needed CPR to graduate. Many times, people need help. We should all have some rudimentary idea of how to provide it. Yes - I have current AHA CPR certification :-). It’s been a while since I was in high school, but I had to pass CPR training in my health class in order to pass health.

I hope and pray that it will be taken as a life or death matter because it is.
