Our state (NY) also requires PE for all 4 high school years, no exemptions or summer school options. (As a matter of fact, kids have to make up any more than 2 absences by staying after for specific make-up PE.). I like that you all can substitute health; here, that is an additional requirement that clogs up the schedule, but that one is at least doable during the summer.
And don't get me started on the grading of PE- DD gets a numerical grade after each class, and despite earning a 94 last semester, it will bring down her overall GPA (true of many of her classmates as well). Actually, we were just laughing about PE grading- today she got the first 10/10 she has ever received in PE, and the specific unit was called "yoga relaxation." Good to know she excels at relaxing.
