Two hours of p.e. per week is less than we did when I was at school. Whether that breeds conformism really depends on what activities you do during that time. I'd be less worried about getting kids up and moving than some of the other things. Though wouldn't these measures just be about making kids more conformist than they already are? A lot of schooling is already about appropriate socialisation rather than education.

Well, most of the teachers I had were socialists of some stripe; I think it's some kind of self-selection mechanism innate to the teaching profession.
I doubt many public school teachers will happily play along with this plan.
