DO FAT KIDS REALLY NEED P.E.?
I hope you like my title,it was just so you would open my post by the way. Haha gotcha! [; Today I'm gonna write (type) a post about physical education. There isn't really an argument to this, P.E. is essential for everyone in grade school. (except in some cases)
In this article, it says kids gain more weight when they're out of school than when they're in it. But who says it's because of P.E.? Maybe it's the food they eat at home. P.E. could really have nothing to do with anything because it's not important. At all.
Personally, I really enjoy P.E. because it's easy for me and probably my favorite class for the fact that it doesn't consist of having to write any thing. I'd rather play volleyball than write stuff down in a freezing classroom. Wouldn't you?
In some cases, I don't think P.E. is very necessary though as well. See, every Friday at my school (who's name I am not going to mention because there could be creeps out there reading this) once every week we go into our fitness room. We have partners right? And about 4 or 5 minuets per machine we use for working out. The teacher blows a whistle in the middle of the 4 or 5 minuets so everyone would switch with their partner for a turn on their machine, which is really only giving kids about 2 1/2 minuets per machine for the 30 minuets of class we have. That doesn't make a difference at all.
If you think about it, P.E. isn't all that important. Now I'm not going to tell you what I think schools need to do to help kids get a better work out because all you really have is 50 minuets a day including the 10 minuets of dressing out and reporting to your class and the 10 minuets of being dismissed and dressing out again all in one period.
So there, P.E. is almost completely useless but I'm still %100 for it because we just do less c: byebye!

You guys should switch every 45 seconds. Then everyone could get a few sets per machine, and keep the tempo up!
ReplyDeleteTell that to my P.E. teacher. :P
