The article of the week this weeks talks about how exercise not not is good for you body but also for your mind. I believe this to be true. Fitness helps in many ways that you would not expect. sure you can control your weight, you can become more flexible and stronger, but you can also mentally relax and control your self. P personally believe that exercise is something that our country lost. PE in schools is a joke. There needs to be structure to classes dealing with physical education. This is not only because America has a large population of overweight individuals, but it is proven that the student that work out will be more relaxed and get better grades than those who do not. This situation is a win win, the only down side is that students will actually have to do something in PE! Schools need to really look into revamping the physical programs so that kids can do better in school. I can not see any moral or ethical reason to not make PE a hard class.
This is true, our PE program not only plays games, it also allows kids to slack off and not try. We are limiting the food options because of weight so we should also amp up the PE curriculum as well. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely right! PE is a joke. I can find so many better things to do than hide in the corner while people throw balls at me. That is not physical education. It is called physical EDUCATION for a reason...what are we learning? NOTHING. If schools think this class is important enough to need it to graduate, then the students should get something out of the class.
