  • Essay / The Pros and Cons of Physical Education - 1170

    Physical education allows students to relax and replenish their energy, while athletics teaches the intangible elements of discipline, effort and courage. But neither has a place at school. We don't need an economic expert to predict that America will soon lose its position as the world's largest economy. China is hot on its heels and India is not far behind. There is no need to panic, however, because as Dr. Carson says, “All we need to do is remember what our true responsibilities are so that we can solve the problems [plaguing our nation].” . That's all I'm suggesting, nothing radical, nothing illogical; let's just keep schools a place of learning. Let us teach our students that their primary responsibility is to become educated citizens of the nation. Let's work collectively to return America to its place of unprecedented success and progress, and the first and most fundamental step in getting there is to reassess, refocus and recharge our education system.
