An act to both promote and proliferate a healthy student body and to allow athletically minded students the ability to part take in sports in a healthy, friendly, and competitive environment as well as to produce an invoice meant in which they may prepare for national level competition.


Section 1: Physical Education

Put the child through some sort if Physical Exercise, Build up the Child's health, and Focus on a sense of friendship and teamwork as well as having children interact constructively as to help them develop needed social skills.

2: Physical Education during Primary education will focus mostly on the aspects of team sports which will have children work together as a team to archive the goal of winning a game. The games will focus on the aspect of team work and constructive socialization with other children. This in effect both gives then daily exercise as well as helps them develop social skills that will be used later on in life

3: Physical Education in Secondary will be more up to the students but they are required to take a physical education class every year of school. The classes could range from Team Sports, Cardiovascular exercise classes, Straight Training, and Sports Conditioning classes. These classes will focus more on the students general health.

4: Any child with a Mental or Physical disability along with medical issues that prevent physical activity they will have special classes in which they will be accommodated for but will be expected to fulfill all the same standards as the other children.

Section 2: Scholastic Athletics
1: Every Student will be given and equal opportunity to partake in a School Sport of their choosing. The student however must pass any sort of tryouts presented to them (unless team is to small or sport dose not require tryouts) and many passed up if they can not meet physical expectations but may still take part with the team as a manager or as something else. They must also have to live up to a code of ethics such as not taking of subversive or illegal substances, must not be in any trouble with the law at time of taking part in sports, must maintain an above average Grade Point Average of 3.0 or above. And must be in good standing with the school at time of partaking in sports.

2: All student athletes must be in good health. They must before taking part in any athletic active have a physical both administered and cleared by a licensed doctor, they take a concussion base line test which will give the doctors a idea of what the athletes mental state was like before having a concussion and will help the positively identify if the student has concussion. They must also take a hydration test to see if the student is hydrated enough to be athletes. All these things are put in place to prevent any health issues with students.

3: failure to meet any of the requirements in Section 2 part 1 and section 2 part 2 will mean automatic suspension from said sport until the issue has been resolved

4: Some activities will mean permanent expulsion from the sport. Illegal activities, Fighting ether on school grounds, Practice, or at sporting events, being disrespectful to school staff, and if the student has an outstanding amount of disciplinary issues (past 4) mean automatic suspension for the year and even indefinitely if the coach sees it fit. This however does not count if fighting is a legal part of said sport.

Section 3: Teaching Staff and Coaches
1: All Physical Education teachers will be held to the same standard as other teachers.

2: must hold a degree in both education and a degree in the respective field of physical education they wish to take pat in.

3: all teachers must have a physical aid kit on hand in case of any injuries or medical emergencies. They must call the hospital if it is clear to the teacher that the schools nursing staff can not help the child.

4: Coaches must have University experience in their respective sport.

section 4: Competition and Championship Structure

1: All scholastic Athletes have the wish to go to advanced stages. For this all sports will have levels of championships at Regional, Providential, and National levels.

2: championships will all be Single-elimination tournaments in which one loss equates to being ejected from the tournament.

3: A team has all rights to self exclude themselves from the tournaments if they see it fit.

4: All safety provisions will be taken to protect the student from unneeded injury but not so much that it takes away from the sport. This applies not only to championships but all forms of competition.

Thanks for the reminder, Boris. I'll inspect the Zoo and Aquarium Standards Act more closely as the vote approaches, but the other two bills I've read. I'll announce my tentative support of the Youth Politics Act, though I'm a tad unsure about the Security from Past Punishment Act. I'll need some convincing on it (or possibly a more thorough reading).

One question, shouldn't zoo inspection be under the Environment Ministry instead of the Interior Ministry?

One question: why is ice hockey included in the list of sports? Why not something that we have in common with other Commonwealth nations like netball?

When we were fixing it up in the lobby we never had any suggestion for netball and nobody contested Ice Hockey from being added.

Apparently Ice hockey is very popular in British oversea's Territory and ex-British colonies in the Mediterranean basin and football is now a summer sport in Europe. I think Malta won Ice Hockey Gold last time out and this time Gibraltar and Cyprus are favorite's in Sochi if i'm not mistaken. :roll:

Senator Jones stood and said, I'll address this question, if I may. Jones walked to the front of the room and stood in front of a microphone.

"Changes to the budget only require a vote if tax rates are to be changed. Spending changes do not require a vote. We had no wishes to change the tax rate, for we currently need the money, although we will want to when our fiscal situation improves."

Sen. Deering rises, and says "Ladies and Gentlemen, I think this new Physical Education bill goes to far! If we really want our kids to be healthy, why don't we just let them be kids, and play on the playground, like when I was a boy? Our Government has got better things to do than shovel resources into school sports teams and so called "gym classes". If we are to spend money, let us spend it on making physical improvements to schools, a change which would actually help children to learn."

Joshua stands to address the Chamber, "I rise to second the sentiment of my honourable colleague from the Reform Party. This bill disproportionately requires spending on physical education and forces secondary-level students to take physical education classes even if they wish to focus their education somewhere else. The resources of the Ministry of Education can be allocated in a far better manner than given in this bill."

"I disagree. We cannot rely on children to involve themselves in exercise on their own. It has been proven that exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle and is necessary for a healthy body. Countries across the world are suffering from high obesity rates within young people, and it is important we take a small step in an attempt to prevent this. May I remind you that we have already legislated to make physical education mandatory for children up until the age of sixteen.

"This is not just about a child's education, it is about a child's health. We have a duty to make sure that we are doing as much as we can to support healthy lifestyles. As I said just then, physical education is already mandatory."

If I remember correctly, many people said they would have voted for our budget if we would have used a bracket system instead of a formula. So I don't think the criticism is warranted. If you didn't like the budget, that's fine. By the looks of the political compass in your signature, you are (much) farther left than me, so that makes sense. However, just because you didn't like the budget doesn't mean that everyone else shared your sentiments.

I have never said a word about what I thought about your budget. No matter what you say, it was still a spectacle. People got upset on both sides, and words were thrown. Political affiliation has nothing to do with whether it was a spectacle or not.
