One in four public school parents believe their child’s school isn’t placing enough emphasis on physical education, according to a new survey from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Harvard School of Public Health, and National Public Radio.
Among the findings, 28 percent of parents gave their child’s school a C, D, or F on providing enough time for physical exercise. A quarter of those surveyed said their child’s school didn’t emphasize P.E. enough, 5 percent said the subject was overemphasized, 69 percent fell in the middle, and 1 percent didn’t know or answer.
The survey drew on 1,368 parents of public school children in K-12.
