Students Refuse to Sell Snacks

This story in Florida is rather interesting, as some elementary school students are refusing to participate in fundraising sales for candy and potato chips. I have mixed feelings reading this story. One, I don't like how most schools pimp out their kids to have them sell candy and other things anyway. Shouldn't fundraising be a PTA job? Two, isn't a bigger problem the lack of physical education classes in school? Get the kids moving, and the occasional candy eaten with parental approval would not be that big of a deal. My 10 year old only has PE twice a week. Some school districts are eliminating PE entirely. When I was in school, I had PE every day. My junior high had sports teams. Now, kids go to middle school, and are lucky if they can afford a club team. This is not a good change for kids today.
