Read the excerpt from Tommy’s speech to his school administration about why physical education should be mandatory for each student.It is good for students to learn about health and be active throughout the school day. Which is the best revision of the underlined portion of the sentence?

Tommy is arguing that physical education should be mandatory, so he needs a strong, formal phrase that supports his point. “It is essential for students” clearly shows that learning about health and staying active are necessary. “Okay,” “cool,” and “fun” are less persuasive and do not establish that physical education should be required.
