Despite the differences in physical education standards across the USA between states as well as boys and girls the core, having students be active, is the same. Many complain that the criteria in which boys and girls have to reach to pass high school PE is unfair because it is “unbalance” it does not compare to state criteria differences.

California, Texas, Ohio and New York, states from each part of America, have severely different state regulations, but not as drastic gender differences. The contrast
