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.

The quality of education in school has increased over the years. The debate is going on for a long on who is more responsible for the fitness of

children

,

schools

or

parents

. In

this

essay, I am going to discuss how obesity is affecting us, how

parents

and

schools

both are responsible for the physical

exercise

of

children

and

also

why I disagree with

schools

not wasting their valuable time having

sports

lessons. Over the years, obesity has increased quite a lot. With all that food chains and ready to eat packets, we are moving towards more and more diseases in our bodies. Diabetes and other sugar-related problems are on the rise. Once a wise man said, "Your true wealth is your health". It really resonates with me. Is our health worth sacrificing for education? Both

parents

and

schools

are responsible for the physical and mental health of the upcoming generation. The newer generation of

children

lacks awareness about the advantages of a fit body and regular

exercise

. To make

children

aware of the benefits of

, I believe

schools

should have at least 2 classes each week where students must perform an

exercise

for an hour or play some sport. In Asia, it is common for the

parents

to ask the

children

to study for long hours

instead

of out playing or hanging out with their friends. So sometimes

parents

neglect the physical

exercise

of the

children

because of studies. That's where

schools

come into play.

Also

if

children

are active physically and play some

sports

, it increases their brain function and hand-eye coordination. Apart from that, they

also

learn sportsmanship. Physical

exercise

has both mental and physical benefits. To summarise, If

sports

are restricted from the

parents

,

children

looks forward to coming to school and enjoying physical

exercise

.

Children

already have so much on their plate regarding studies, by adding some

sports

class or letting our

children

play in the fresh air, we make sure our

children

are not stressed.
