A resounding no and I'll tell you why.
If the idea is that "youth doesn't exercise enough", "youth are too lazy" etc it won't work because youth fall in 2 categories: category one is the athletic football player who already exercises anyway. He does not need more PE. Category two is the nerds, fat ones etc and indeed they don't exercise enough perhaps but just imagine the torture it is to them when they are mocked relentlessly by category one students. That was my past as a bullied nerd and I absolutely HATED the compulsory PE in my country for that reason.
Please stop the madness!!! School is for maths not sports.
Should there be mandated Physical Education in K-12?
