Minneapolis schools are finding a way to accommodate students who say they don’t have time to fulfill their gym requirements – do it online.

Writes USA Today: “The Minneapolis school system’s online physical education allows kids to choose a physical activity they enjoy, do it for 30 minutes three times a week – on their own time – while keeping an online journal. A parent or coach must confirm the student did the activities, and a fitness test at semester’s end will turn up any cheaters.”

Well, that would cut down the number of times you get snapped in the butt with a wet towel in the locker room.
