Some people say that schools do not do enough to teach young people about health. Do you agree or disagree?

The rise in the cases of children suffering from obesity has led to a question by many people, on the role of the

school

in educating the young ones about the ill-effects of bad eating habits and lack of exercise on

health

. I strongly believe the schools can contribute more in

this

area and in

this

essay we discuss how schools can partner up with the parents to solve

this

problem and

also

school

choices in improving their pupils'

health

. Though

school

was

initially

meant to teach students basic subjects like maths,

However

, nowadays their role has increased in a

child

's life. For a

child

spends more time in schools during term, it is necessary that they look after the overall

child

's

health

and report it to the parents in case of any ill finding.

For example

, if the

child

is displaying any sign of over eating of unhealthy food in the

school

than they could talk to the parents and work together to resolve the issue.

For instance

, Schools can provide more time for physical education, so that a

child

can get more time to work on the physical aspect of the

health

and that can result in reduction of absent days take by the

child

.

On the other hand

, schools can work the mental side of the

health

by educating the risks disease's like obesity can have on their life because

this

can help make them informed choices. To conclude, that it is imperative and paramount that a

child

should be educated about the positive side of healthy living rather than ignoring the issues and while parents and schools are two different entities they can come together to help their

child

of having better prospects in life.
