When did competition become a bad thing? When did the world stop being competitive? I think that the schools should offer a wide selection of PE programs including traditional sports, physical fitness programs, nutrition, and dance and movement. The goal of PE should be to teach students tools that they can use for a lifetime of physical fitness. The sad thing is that gym class is the only exercise that most students get and now they want to cut that.
As for dodge ball, that was a nightmare!
