Should sports and physical education classes be sacrified in kindergarten?

Question

should sports and physical education classes be sacrificed in kindergartens and schools so student can concentrate on academic subjects?

Answer 1

Absolutely not! At that young of an age physical development is extremely inportant! If that is withheld from them many children will become physically delayed and will not have the functions or motor skill capabilities that a child who wasn't denied physical education would have.

Answer 2

no, because some of life's most important lessons are taught early on, like playing fair, working as a team, and winning/ losing gracefully.  And the earlier you incorporate healthy choices like exercise into their life, the better it will be adjusted to, because it has always been there.

Answer 3

Gross motor activities and learning go hand and hand. If we take away these activties it is harder for children to concentrate on the academics.  They need to release energy and get those "creative juices" flowing.  If we take away physical education, we are going to have a lot of children who cannot sit still in class and will not hear a thing we are saying.

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

In Kindergarten a lot of the learning should involve hands on, physical interaction. P.E. was where I remember doing tumbling and having fun. And considering the obesity problem in this country, getting rid of P.E. for learning doesn't seem like a profitable trade off.

Answer 6

no. i think student education is very important

but p.e is also a very good subject to teach at a young age

not only is it fun it is also helps them to learn about them selves and structuring of thier body's and advantages and disadvantages. i always enjoyed p.e and i am taking the full course for gcse next year.

i hope i was of help

all the best
