In the United States, no federal law requires public schools to teach physical education (PE). Implementing PE in public schools is the responsibility of each of the 50 states. Some states and school districts are making PE optional, not mandatory, for students. Such decisions are driven in part by budget cuts and efforts to raise student test scores in core academic subjects such as reading and math. Some school districts have even cut traditional PE altogether.

Do you believe that cutting or reducing the amount of PE in schools in favor of core academic subjects is a good idea? Why or why not? Use specific case studies and facts to support your opinion.

Should the federal government offer incentives to states to increase the number of students participating in regular physical activity? Why or why not? If so, what might the incentive plan look like? PLEASE HELP! :((( ALL I NEED IS 4 TO 5 SENTENCES! PLEASE WRITE A CORRECT ANSWER, AND I CHOSE "NO" PLZ WRITE A SHORT PARAGRAPH FOR IT!

Answer:

I think that it should be the student choice whether or not he or she wants to participate. It should stay as is.

Answer:

I disagree with this statement because I believe that Physical Education (PE) is a very important subject for each individual.

It has been proven that any sort of physical education improves the activity of your brain, if an individual's level of brain activity is higher, it means he learns more from other education and performs better on his tests.

Physical Education is also a practical lesson that relieves stress off students from all the other core subjects that do not that involve as much practical activity.

Physical Education makes you healthier, the healthier you are the better your life style and (technically) life time will be.

Physical Education is also now proven to wake up students, this means students are less lazy and goes back to one of my previous points mentioning a students activity and performance in a lesson or a test. And also the class allows us to combat our growing obesity problem and it provides leisure time for students, something they sorely need. In Finland, schools have 15 minute breaks after every 45 minutes of teaching. This keeps the kids relaxed and happy. Sadness and stress are damaging to their health and their grades.

I hope this helped, any other questions let me know.
