Most schools are planning to replace sport and exercise classes with more academic sessions. How will this change affect children’s lives in your view?

The debate between where to allocate valuable teaching resources probably started with the

first

educational institutions. In present-day society the conflict continues and rightly so. In my opinion converting sports classes to more traditional subjects has two significant advantages.

Firstly

, it is a more effective use of a student’s

time

.

Secondly

, in the future, academic skills are more useful. Switching

time

spent on

sport

in a

school

to

time

spent on more academic activities is a wise and cost-effective solution.

Firstly

, academic studies are inherently less expensive to perform when compared to physical education.

For example

, to play almost any

sport

one has to invest in the appropriate equipment, ranging from shorts, t-shirts' to rackets and balls.

Furthermore

, excess

time

is spent in the changing rooms or washing afterwards. In more traditional subjects, students merely enter the classroom and are learning within minutes.

Secondly

,

sport

can be argued as an activity practised naturally by children, especially boys. In every

school

at break

time many

Accept comma addition

time, many

children engage in energetic activities, whereas hardly any are studying algebra, biology or physics. Because these subjects are less popular, more resources should be allocated to teaching them.

In addition

, academic skills could be argued as more important due to the small number of people in society currently using

sport

skills in a work environment.

Thus

, focussing on skills demanded by the labour market would benefit students’ lives dramatically in the future. To conclude, young learners going through

school

would finish much better prepared for life avoiding

sport

tuition.

Furthermore

, they would have taken full advantage of their

school

years through more

time

spent learning.
