The three readings were very interesting, and to me, it says stronger than ever that we should have physical education classes all year long. The current system of having physical education for only nine weeks during the year is absolutely not good for students. Students definitely need to have physical education during the entire year, each year. We are not helping them in academic classes nor are we helping them with physical fitness.
Having students come into the classroom who are unable to sit up for a 90-minute block session is very frustrating in academic classrooms. Granted, some of this is due to lack of a good-night's sleep, but part of this is due to lack of physical fitness and oxygen to the brain.
