but no physical education/excercise means health issues out of control, the global economy would love the rise in general health related issues when really all they needed to do to reduce this by mass is get kids to run around an hr a day

An interesting counter argument but in my opinion, health issues seem to already be out of control and that seems to have happened since sports were introduced into schools' curriculum.

And to add to this, no one is making it so that kids don't get any physical activity. It's not an alternative to physical education. There's no rule saying they need to have sc2 at home.Even if they spent all their free periods at school playing... what are they doing instead? Many people at my school would just read, do homework (probably so they had more time to play video games when they got home) or play computer games at school (age of empires II was the one we had installed)

We're talking about what, once a week for a couple of hours? This isn't going to be any worse for peoples' kids than the 3 burgers a week they eat from McDonalds
