Schools I attended in SoCal (OC), Scottsdale AZ and then a USAF HS in London demanded students take PE...tough classes...and demanded tough academics out of it. What they demanded our parents supported and didn't back little Freddy and Sarah when their feelings were hurt from having to work so hard. "Suck it up and get to work." Today... a trophy for your feelings. Heaven help them if the society faces an armed incursion. They'd point their game controller and wonder why the enemy was not stopping. Excellence requires sacrifice and doing your duty. In short supply today. Too many with anxiety.
