Ensuring that children have regular physical exercise should be the responsibility of parents and therefore schools should not waste valuable school time having sports lessons as part of the curriculum. To what extent do you agree.

Some people claim that children should not spend

school

time exercising. They say parents must be the ones who take care of

this

part of their education. I can not disagree more with

this

statement.

School

is the perfect place for kids to practice collective sports and learn other activities that they would not know about by their parents.

First

of all, child obesity is spread all over the

first

world countries and part of the problem is that people who are responsible for their education are choosing to reduce the number of hours students have to exercise or practise some sport.

However

, the

school

should not be only a place to learn geography or maths. It is

also

a place to learn routines or abilities that will help the coming generations like

for example

, having a routine of practising some physical activity.

Secondly

, it has been demonstrated that working out, only 30 minutes per day, increases our physically and mentally healthy. So,

This

statement has been said since the great philosophers of ancient Greece, where they said that being in a good mental condition was as important as being in a good physical condition. Spending some time in the

school

practising sports, apart from being good for the kids' health it is good for their psychological growth. To sum up, practising sports during

school

can help kids have a healthier life, where they can enjoy while they learn new things and have fun. In resume, it would be a mistake to stop the sport´s lessons from

school

.
