Should students be required to wear heart rate monitors during gym class? TYT Supreme Court is split on this decision! Help us decide by voting: http://tytnetwork.com/heartrate
“Loafing through gym class is an art form of sorts for many high school students. Techniques often include: hiding in the back of the gymnasium, walking—not running—the mile run around the track, half-hearted jumping jacks, and so on. For students in the Dubuque Community School District in Iowa, however, this school year will require a new get-out-of-gym strategy. High school and middle school students in Dubuque will now be required to wear heart monitors during P.E. class to monitor their heart rates to see if they’re getting enough exercise.” *
