Without a doubt it should be mandatory in elementary and middle school.
High school? Nah. School isn't even mandatory in High School. We're talking about young adults who are legally allowed to drop out completely at 16. They should also have the choice to decide if gym will be part of the curriculum. Ideally, earlier mandatory gym classes instilled in them the proper values to recognize physical activity as important but if we're talking about having to force 17 and 18 year olds to be active, their psychical educators already failed them.
