I want military type physical training and grading based on performance.

Tell me how you would grade my child who has Asthma? So far she can run, play and is even in ballet but the chances of her ever being able to train for the military or in that style are not good. It wouldn’t be fair to kids like her that are not able to do those things. I agree a program would be good but I don’t think all children could do it.

My wife has asthma and is in better shape than I am - used to be a cross-country runner.
In any case, you’re right, there would have to be medical accommodations...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fair. Fair. Fair.

Can’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Instead, have all the other children unfit because one child has asthma and can’t participate. ( sigh!)
