"I hope you get plenty of help from the parents. When it's all said and done, it's still the parents who need to make sure that Johnny can read, write and do math. "

And fish, for that matter.

I don't see where fishing fits into the PE part of the equation. Physical education should (IMHO) focus on activities that promote teamwork, competition, sportsmanship, and fitness, the latter being something that seems to be lost in this discussion.

I wouldn't mind them offering electives, though, or a fishing club, and I'd contribute directly to that if my kids were involved..maybe even if they weren't.

It also wouldn't be much of a stretch to include some anadromous fish science in the biology and/or natural science curriculum, either.
