PE should not be extended because…

1. To much physical activity can cause many different negative reactions such as, a dislike for PE, muscle aches, lack in academic affairs, an increasing rate in absenteeism and an overall failing education system which focuses on mainly physical education and not academic education.

A dislike of PE can cause students to have a negative impact on the school, leading to an increase in absenteeism as shown in career.ride. This will lead into a chain of negativity. Firstly, more students can fall sick due to over using the body. Secondly, schools might have a shortage of equipment which focuses funding to the equipment and not to the overall education for the students. Thirdly, a lack in academic affairs may lower the grade or mark of the test making options shorter for tests such as PSLE, O and A levels which could provide you with better education.  Too much PE could lead to multiple injuries. Many a times our PE curriculum is not suitable for physically disabled. But they still have to attend the class. So they either try in vain to do the exercises or remain alone on the sidelines. Again remaining on the sidelines can hurt their self-confidence. If given an option they can devote their time into something else.

In track and field, I have over used my body and that caused a mental disheartening for my studying and other activities. Muscle cramps, aches and pain Etc. Students who don't have much athletic ability may not have the skills necessary to compete or even defend themselves against better or more competitive athletes. This can seriously lead to inferiority complex and would make students disheartened to do any activity and in the worst case, lead to depression. Bullying is another phenomenon which is seen during PE. Strong students get a chance to pick on the weak during PE and for students who have only academic interests, PE is just waste of time and energy. Sometimes these students become the target of the bullies. Therefore, looking back at all the negativity at extended PE, I conclude that it should not be extended.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
For some school children, PE is the best lesson of the week - a chance to leave the desk behind, get outside, and enjoy a run around with friends. For others, it is a frequently miserable experience - a time when they feel degraded, embarrassed, and may even experience physical pain.

Studies have shown that for girls in particular, PE can be a source of distress which leads to them skipping lessons, or missing out on school altogether.

In my own research, I spoke to secondary pupils who both liked and disliked PE, and found that the notion of competitive sport was a clear source of contention. Those who were good at it did not want those less able to "get in the way", while those less skilled resented being made to compete. They also felt less "liked" by their PE teachers and their more sporty class mates.

Another concern, for boys and girls, was ill fitting and inappropriate clothing and a lack of privacy when changing.

But it's not game over. Just because a child doesn't look forward to PE does not mean they never will. Research demonstrates that some simple adjustments can make PE enjoyable for the majority of school children.

For example, a change in emphasis away from competitive sport can swiftly reduce the bullying of less able children. And a move away to prioritising participation over excellence can dramatically increase the confidence (and participation rates) of those less skilled - because it really is the taking part that matters.

If teachers shout or criticise poor performance it can damage the confidence of even the most skilled players. (I once witnessed a PE teacher aggressively - and with no apparent sign of irony - berating some football-playing school boys for making "school boy errors".)

Instead, PE should be about making sure all children enjoy and take part. If schools value taking part above winning against other schools, the nature of PE changes. When this approach was attempted in one study, it swiftly led to more participation and improved pupil behaviour:

As one pupil commented:

I have actually joined the football team now, because all the violence has gone... Before it was, 'You lost us the game you ****, it's all your fault.' With the new [approach] it is more like we are all in there just trying to get better. No one is to blame. Now it is worth doing.

Other changes implemented in the study gave pupils a say in what sporting activities were available (why not rock climbing or trampolining for instance?). They were also given the opportunity to design the PE kit and reorganise the changing room.

Getting everyone moving

To those who argue we need competitive sport to "build character", I would point out that there is quite simply no evidence to support this view. But what we can build when we allow young people to work together in a spirit of support and cooperation, is leadership and mutual understanding.

If we need competitive sport to build our national teams, this should happen out of school. PE is about the participation of all - not the excellence of a few, at the expense of the majority.

At home, the most important thing a parent can do for a child who struggles with PE is to take their concerns seriously. Avoiding a poor PE experience is a perfectly rational thing to do - it is not bad behaviour. But being physically active is extremely important for children and young people, so how, when, and at what level they do it should be primarily their choice.

It is useful if there are opportunities to take part in activities they like outside of the school environment, like a family bike ride or a visit to a swimming pool. My research has shown that when children become more confident in physical activities out of school this increases their confidence in school PE.

If PE continues to cause distress, communication with the school can be key. Maybe the changing facilities could be improved, or the kit requirements relaxed? Old fashioned ideas about PE uniform should not be preventing children from taking part and enjoying physical exercise. There is no reason a child needs to wear shorts or a short skirt to take part in PE.

PE should be a part of school where pupils can interact, work together and get some vital exercise. As it is, children spend far too many hours at school sitting down. The precious little time they have available to move about should be spent doing something active - and which they consider to be fun.

Schools should not have more PE lessons

Schools should not have more PE lessons as it takes up a lot of time. Instead of having more PE lessons, students could be doing something else, for example, they could be catching up on some homework or revising for any upcoming tests. Research has shown that a person only needs at least 60 minutes of exercise.

Some students may also focus more on PE instead of their academic grades causing their grades to drop. This will make getting into a good secondary school hard. And the child may not ant to focus on studying for their upcoming exams, instead the child will focus more on PE and not on studying. This could lead to a lot of problems.

In conclusion, schools should not have more PE lessons, so that the students can focus on their studies and get into a good secondary school.

More PE lessons mean lesser lessons in class. That means it reduces time in the classroom where we could learn more important subjects like language and mathematics.

Although PE is good for our bodies and health, it makes us feel extreme fatigue and not have enough energy to pay attention in class. We would also crave more sweet food like chocolate and cakes.

If we had PE lessons on CCA days, we would be even more tired during CCA if our CCA is athletic type.

To conclude, we should have lesser PE lessons as it makes us feel extreme fatigue during school hours. Thank you.

Venise's state of why school should not have more PE lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
The advantages of physical education in the schools are many and well-documented: P.E. helps kids learn healthy habits, stay in shape and learn teamwork. However, an argument could be made that a P.E. program simply isn't worth the trouble. The drawbacks of P.E. get much less attention than the benefits, but should nevertheless be taken into consideration.
1. Expense
In these lean economic times, when many school programs are getting the axe and some districts are even laying off teachers, the expense of holding P.E. classes may cause some schools to reconsider whether the class is worth it. The cost and maintenance of equipment, plus the upkeep of a huge gym, may be money that's better spent on retaining talented teachers or fundamental academic programs.

In addition, many school districts and administrators base budget choices on the programs that are most important to students and parents: usually those academic subjects that are measured on standardized testing. Subjects like P.E., while important for overall health, are often left on the chopping block in order to fund academic subjects when school budgets are tight.
2. Uneven Results
Many adults remember P.E. as the class that was either too easy, or sheer torment, depending on how athletic they were as kids. Coaches are often criticized for "phoning in" the P.E. curriculum, with the result that athletic kids aren't challenged, and non-athletic kids are either ignored, or worse, singled out for ridicule because the coach is too apathetic to take control of the class. As schools may more attention than ever to bullying, it can be easier to just remove the chance for taunting in gym class.
3. Lack of Choice
Many kids take part in P.E. only because it's a requirement and there is no choice. Being forced to participate -- especially in sports children don't prefer or may not feel able to perform -- makes the experience a drudgery and may actually make them less likely to exercise outside the school setting. Some educators advise that schools allow students some choice in P.E. activities to avoid making exercise seem like a hated necessity, rather than healthy and fun. Absent this choice, P.E. may actually have the opposite effect than the one the school intended.
4. Liability
P.E. classes can expose the school to a lawsuit if a child is injured or dies, especially if the incident resulted from faulty equipment, or while the class was being taught by a substitute teacher. Some children, particularly those with a pre-existing condition or who are significantly overweight, may be subject to injury when forced to participate in sudden, strenuous activity. Mandatory exercise that takes place in a very hot or cold environment can also trigger health crises in susceptible children. This is especially true for children with conditions like asthma and other health issues that are becoming more common in schools today.

As for why this particular P.E. program was counterproductive, Analisa Packham, an economics professor at Miami University in Ohio who co-authored the study, points to bullying as one potential reason. Students are more likely to be bullied in middle school than at any other point in their academic careers, and P.E. presents a particularly ripe opportunity for abuse, whether because the class forces them to use a locker room, where adult supervision is limited, or because it facilitates the teasing of overweight or unathletic kids.
The paper posits that by subjecting participants — namely low-income kids, as the Fitness Now grants targeted campuses serving disadvantaged populations — to these circumstances on a daily basis, the P.E. requirement made students less inclined to go to school. “These adolescents were not enjoying the daily P.E. requirements and would’ve rather skipped school,” suggests Packham, who as an economist has focused her research on the outcomes of health programs. The Fitness Now program required that students participate in at least 30 minutes of physical education every school day. Schools that took part in the grant received $10,000 on average to help improve their P.E. programs by adding classes, for example, or hiring coaches and fitness instructors. They also used the money to purchase equipment such as stopwatches, jump ropes, and free weights.
According to the study, the program resulted in a roughly 16 percent increase in the number of disciplinary actions for each student. The study also found that the proportion of misbehaving students went up by more than 7 percent.
It’s hard to argue that a given P.E. program is anything but well intended, particularly when considering that children spend most of their waking hours — and meals — at school, and that childhood obesity is a national crisis. But the kind of strategy taken by many of the Fitness Now schools may not be the most effective way to achieve the purported goals.

1. Academic performance: Research shows that more time spent on physical education could lead to lower academic performance. A study published in the Journal of School Health found that middle school students who had more physical education time had lower math scores than students who had less physical education time. Another study published in the Journal of Education and Training Studies found that increasing physical education time was associated with a decrease in academic performance for high school students.

2. Resource constraints: A report by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education found that many schools lack the resources to provide adequate physical education programs. The report found that only 4% of elementary schools, 8% of middle schools, and 2% of high schools provide daily physical education programs that meet the national standards for quality.

3. Student motivation: According to a survey conducted by the Youth Sport Trust, more than one-third of children said they didn't like PE, and almost half of children said they didn't think they were good at it. Another study published in the Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance found that students who were forced to participate in physical education classes were less motivated to be physically active outside of school.

4. Health risks: A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that injuries sustained during physical education classes accounted for more than one-third of all school-related injuries. Another study published in the Journal of School Health found that the risk of injury increased when schools had insufficient space or equipment for physical education.

5. Student choice: A study published in the Journal of Physical Education, Recreation and Dance found that students who were given the option to choose their physical education activities were more likely to be physically active outside of school than students who were assigned to specific activities.

Overall, while physical education is important for promoting physical activity and good health, it is essential to consider the potential drawbacks of adding more PE lessons. By taking a holistic approach to education, schools can ensure that students receive a well-rounded education that includes a variety of academic and extracurricular activities.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Academic performance: Students may suffer academically if they spend more time on physical education. Time that could be spent on academic subjects such as maths, science, and languages may be reduced, leading to poorer academic performance overall.

2. Resource constraints: Many schools are already struggling with limited resources, such as space, equipment, and funding. Adding more PE lessons may strain these resources further, and schools may have to cut other valuable programs or services to make room for PE.

3. Student motivation: For some students, mandatory PE lessons can be demotivating, and they may not enjoy physical activity. If schools force students to do more PE, this may cause more harm than good, as it could create a negative attitude towards physical activity.

4. Health risks: Excessive physical activity can lead to injuries and health problems, especially if students are not properly supervised or do not receive adequate training. If schools add more PE lessons, they need to ensure that they have enough qualified instructors and proper safety measures in place to prevent injuries.

5. Student choice: Finally, some students may prefer to spend their time on other extracurricular activities, such as music, art, or drama. By forcing students to participate in more PE lessons, schools may be limiting their freedom of choice and preventing them from pursuing their passions.

Overall, it is essential to strike a balance between physical education and other academic and extracurricular activities. While physical activity is important for maintaining good health, it is not the only factor that contributes to a well-rounded education. By considering the arguments above, you can make a strong case against the motion that schools should have more PE lessons.

Elaborate:
1) Time constraint
We have other subjects and topics which requires a lot of time for us to learn the knowledge. School time is only a few hours if we spend too much time on PE lessons, we have have less time to focus on the important subjects which we have examinations on. people can also do PE outside of school  so there is noo need more PE lessons in school and wast time .

2) energy consuming
PE lessons require us to use a lot of our physical energy to do the exercise or activities. If there is more PE lesson, we will be too exhausted and lack the concentration to learn our other subject when the teacher is teaching. We may feel tired or sleepy during our in class lesson which will affect our results. our muscles will be sore and heavy limbs.

3) people with skin conditions , heat and sweat can trigger the skin and cause them to itch and peel. exercise can dry out the skin through the loss of fluids and cause dehydration and rashes.

4) People who are going through puberty will also have body oudour after doing excercises which is embarassing for the person. The person sweat during pe and bacteria will consume the sweat and release stinky odours causing the person to smell .

5) People will get bullied if their physical fitness did not meet the standards and people who are stronger will make fun and bully weaker students which cause bullying and destroy self confidence. This caused numourous mental illnesses like bulimia and anorexia because the bullies caused the person to feel bad about their own bodies which is detrimental for their mental health.

So schools should not have more PE lessons .

Statement: Schools should not have more PE lessons

Elaboration: 1. Providing more physical education lessons in schools take away time from other important academic subjects such as language and math. 2. Cost: The amount of time and cost to maintain the physical education equipment is high to lower the danger of students getting injured during the physical education lesson. 3. Bullying Potential: Physical education can be good opportunity for bullying as everyone is divided into groups instructed by the teacher. Students who lack in coordination / motor skills or are overweight can quickly become the target of bully and this will affect their mental well-being and further reduce their confidence level.

Research: According to Debategraph, an article was published in 2014 on the cons of physical education.

Conclusion: Although physical education is important to reduce the growing obesity among students, the lack of opportunity for them to choose their own learning based on their strengths will lead to lower creativity and participation. Therefore, schools should also consider the cons before introducing more physical education lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
Statement: Schools should not have more PE lessons.

Elaboration: We already have enough PE lessons. Why do we want to have more? We are stressing ourselves to exercise even more than usual. In fact, I wish that schools have less PE lessons. If we fall down, especially on hardcourts, you will injure yourself badly, like I did last time. I know that PE lessons help you get fit. But exercising too much can resolve in being underweight. We will also feel very sweaty after PE lessons.

Research: According to BBC News, PE encapsulates their unhappiest memories of school. They look back to blasted, windswept sports fields where shouting PE teachers in ill-fitting tracksuits marshalled unwilling pupils.

The classic fictional depiction is the 1969 film Kes, where Brian Glover's Mr Sugden takes part in a football match as both player and referee, awards himself a penalty and then remonstrates with Billy Casper by knocking him into the mud with a wet football.

It has that classic breeding ground for school social stigma - the picking of teams. An opportunity to further make life miserable for the group memorably referred to as the "wets, weirdos and fatties" in the sitcom, Red Dwarf. A recent government  study found 37% of schools offered cheerleading. At a fifth of schools a child can learn yoga. Individual sports like boxing are on the rise, but traditional team games like rugby, hockey and netball are in decline.

Conclusion: Therefore, schools should not have more PE lessons as it makes us dirty when we fall at fields and makes us sweaty after these lessons.

State: Schools should not have more PE lessons.

Elaborate: Sport is a waste of school time and resources. One or two PE lessons a week make very little difference to an individual’s health– but a huge difference to a school’s budget. It creates a whole extra department in schools, wasting a great deal of money and time that could be better spent on academic lessons[1] It also requires schools buildings to be surrounded by a large amount of land for playing fields, making it prohibitively expensive to build new schools in urban areas. The quality of teaching is low, as students are taught in huge classes. On the other hand, the quality of teaching and of equipment goes up if there are fewer (but keener) students taking the subject. One Californian student asked to comment stated PE ‘doesn’t help me in any way…it’s really a waste of time. I don’t learn anything here.’[2] [1] Active Living Research. (2007). Active Education: Physical Education, Physical Activity and Academic Performance. San Diego. [2] Marshall, J., & Hardman, K. (2000). The State and Status of Physical Education in Schools in International Context.

Research: According to research, It’s almost too easy to satirize physical education, better known by its eye-roll-inducing abbreviation P.E. From Clueless to Superbad to Spiderman: Homecoming, parodies of gym class are a pop-culture darling. Perhaps that’s because they speak to one of America’s fundamental truths: For many kids, P.E. is terrible.
A recent working paper on a massive P.E. initiative in Texas captures this reality. Analyzing data out of the state’s Texas Fitness Now program—a $37 million endeavor to improve middle schoolers’ fitness, academic achievement, and behavior by requiring them to participate in P.E. every day—the researchers concluded that the daily mandate didn’t have any positive impact on kids’ health or educational outcome. On the contrary: They found that the program, which ran from 2007 to 2011, actually had detrimental effects, correlating with an uptick in discipline and absence rates.
As for why this particular P.E. program was counterproductive, Analisa Packham, an economics professor at Miami University in Ohio who co-authored the study, points to bullying as one potential reason. Students are more likely to be bullied in middle school than at any other point in their academic careers, and P.E. presents a particularly ripe opportunity for abuse, whether because the class forces them to use a locker room, where adult supervision is limited, or because it facilitates the teasing of overweight or unathletic kids.

The paper posits that by subjecting participants—namely low-income kids, as the Fitness Now grants targeted campuses serving disadvantaged populations—to these circumstances on a daily basis, the P.E. requirement made students less inclined to go to school. “These adolescents were not enjoying the daily P.E. requirements and would’ve rather skipped school,” suggests Packham, who as an economist has focused her research on the outcomes of health programs. The Fitness Now program required that students participate in at least 30 minutes of physical education every school day. Schools that took part in the grant received $10,000 on average to help improve their P.E. programs by adding classes, for example, or hiring coaches and fitness instructors. They also used the money to purchase equipment such as stopwatches, jump ropes, and free weights.

According to the study, the program resulted in a roughly 16 percent increase in the number of disciplinary actions for each student. The study also found that the proportion of misbehaving students went up by more than 7 percent.

The findings of the study, which has yet to be published in an academic journal, are limited in scope. Still, the new paper adds much-needed nuance to the body of research that has evaluated the effectiveness of various approaches to P.E., complicating the findings of studies that generally assert the importance of school policies that encourage regular opportunities for physical activity.
Conclude: Therefore, schools should NOT have more PE lessons as it could lead to a rise in discipline cases and absenteeism

Note to the debaters: Hope this is useful for you

More PE lessons increases the chances of injury and students would not have enough time for studies. Plus, students would also not have enough energy for basic subjects. Research shows that the recommended time for PE is 60 minutes, which the school has arranged for us already, which is good enough now.Students also would not have enough time for studies.

State: Schools should not have more PE lessons.

Elaborate: We already have PE lessons twice a week for an hour each time. This is more than enough time for us to get physically active. The rest of the time should be spent on other subjects. If not, students who are uninterested in PE lessons may lose motivation to come to school. This could lead to an increase in absenteeism.

Personal Experience/Research

Conclude: Therefore, schools should NOT have more PE lessons as it can lead to a rise in discipline cases and absenteeism.
