A huge thing with elementary schools is fitness. For some kids, gym class is the only time they are physically active. I went to a private middle school that had a rule that you needed to play a sport, even if it meant just being a benchwarmer. Only the football players were chubby at that school.

Where I live they let home-school kids participate in public school teams. My friends who home-schooled their kids told me that was the best of both worlds.

Much more structured than my home-school PE. I would just roller-blade and bike around town, because I had a single mother who couldn't waste time driving me around to see friends. She would just approximate my distance into a PE journal and that was that.
