Opting Out

OPS is making the move towards allowing students to opt out of gym class if they participate in athletics or other specific activities. Westside has been doing this for years, and I think it is a great idea. Athletes shouldn't be expected to wake up early in the morning for practice and then lift weights in gym class. The only thing I would add to Westside's opting out policy is letting dance team members opt out as well. We practice at 6:30 every morning. We deserve to sleep in.
