Lately, I've been learning from my peers that high schools they went to were beginning to cut Physical Education classes. This means that they were able to take phys ed every day for one semester, and then they did not have to participate in any physical activity for the next semester. Maybe this was beneficial for the school because they were cutting down on the number of faculty and this was the only way the teacher could handle the number of students. I'm not sure. However, I am wondering if this is in any way beneficial? I don't see any benefits because it seems that the less physical activity students get, the more their long-term health decreases, but maybe I am just not understanding! Help! |

The more I here about physical education classes being cut the more I dont understand. You would never see a school cut a math or science department but you often see phys. ed. being cut. I am with you, I dont understand. Obviously math and science are very important areas and I am not saying they should be cut but I am saying that without physical education these students are not going to be living long enough to even get to use the math and science that they are learning. Instead of cutting this program they should add more of it. I dont care if it makes it difficult for the school it is needed! |
