Some people believe that the best way to improve the general well-being of school children is to make physical education compulsory in all schools. Others, however, think that this would have little effect on overall health and other measures are needed. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There is a debate among educational experts about whether

sports

should be compulsory in

schools

curricula or not. The reasoning behind the backers of

this

notion is that it improves the

overall

health of

students

,

while

the opponents believe that other

methods

must be implemented to achieve

this

aim. I agree that physical education is an outstanding way of achieving higher

overall

well-being and must be thought in

schools

,

however

, I think that

schools

should use more modern educational paths in order to introduce

students

to them. In

this

,essay I will try to discuss both views and draw a conclusion based on them. On the one hand, it is scientifically proven that

sports

directly affect the mental and physical state of human beings.

For instance

, several rigorous studies have shown that pupils who actively participate in group

sports

not only perform better in other subjects but are

also

more social

as a result

of bonds that have been formed in their teams.

Additionally

, experts state that

sports

classes can

also

act as downtimes for

students

who like to spend some time with their peers during their school time and not be burdened by the stress and pressure of teachers.

Therefore

, it is easy to deduce that if

such

positive effects are desired, physical education has to be part of the educational system.

On the other hand

, another group of scientists and legislators believe that the benefits of forcing

students

to do

sports

are non-existent, or at best very limited. They claim that these trends might lead to repulsion to do

sports

by some individuals.

For example

, human beings are not equal in their inclination towards doing

sports

as a result

of different body shapes and upbringing.

Subsequently

, they may start to hate

sports

since it is imposed on them. I for one always had

this

problem in my

years.

Thus

,

schools

must take more intelligent

methods

in the introduction of individuals to physical activities.

To sum up

, some believe that since the positive effects of

sports

on mental and physical health are proven, they must be studied,

while

others believe that forcing human beings into doing something can lead to disgust. I think that the advancements in our understanding of the human mind and behaviour have shown us more suitable

methods

to implement and encourage individuals to do something positive,

hence

,

such

methods

must be used in order to solve

this

debate.
