Keep in mind that my class has an average of 40+ students. (good) Physical Education is not all about throwing out some basketballs. I tie in math into my lessons as much as I can. I took several nursing level classes, lots of science and math, and several other required classes that were not sport related...not to mention the general teacher ed. classes. Hopefully my students will learn a lifetime sport while in my class and continue participating in it. Maybe then, the rate of heart problems, diabetes, and other conditions that are related to being overweight/unactive will decline.

That's awesome! My kids' gym teacher doesn't do any of that. No Red Cross, no paper assignments. They do 20 minutes of calisthenics, 10 minutes of running (either laps in the gym or around the school, depending on weather) and then 15 minutes of the sport of the month (football, soccer, volleyball, etc.) Hopefully they get more of the kinds of things you're talking about in middle school.
