Students in grades kindergarten through twelve should be required to wear uniforms because it creates school unity, is safer, and it helps students develop a higher self-esteem. School uniforms makes students feel more connected with their school and classmates creating school unity. When students pay more attention to what name brands their peers are or are not wearing, the school becomes segregated making the poor students seem as outcasts. However, "when the emphasis is off fashion," students become united as one and are able to focus more on learing ("Wear a School Uniform"). Wearing school colors can make a student feel more proud of their school.
From the results of our survey that we did, we found that 100% of the people in our age group (15-17 years old) showed that enjoyment was the main factor that encourages them to get involved in physical activity. A reason for this could be that if people enjoy participating in a sport, they are most likely to be motivated to want to succeed and give it their all in whatever sport they are undertaking. Also, by people knowing that they are getting good results in their sports e.g. winning games, this gives them satisfaction and enjoyment to motivate them to train and work towards gaining more success. Another factor as to why people said that enjoyment was what encouraged them to participate in physical activity could be because with some sports, especially team sports, enjoyment can be gained through developing friendships.
Playing college athletics also means that the person involved will most likely be in better shape and more physically active while in school due to the regiment their coach puts them through. Staying physically fit in school can help prevent that student from becoming ill and miss class time. Lastly, most college coaches have the ability to monitor how their student athletes are doing academically and can pull their athletes asides to talk about grades and possibly assign them a tutor if
By requiring students to take a break from technology and lend a helping hand, they become better people because the student then realizes the importance of human interaction and how just a simple smile can brighten someone’s day. In this aspect, future participation is prominent. Stepping outside a comfort zone plays a tremendous role on finding one’s specific interests and true personality. Mandatory community service exposes students to certain experiences in which the student may discover a hidden talent or passion for. Often, students who perform community service in order to graduate consider it a chore, however that is not the case for John Prueter.
Play time can also become a family experience which serves to bond family members together and allow adult members an opportunity to model healthy exercise habits for children. Exercise also helps young children develop a healthy self-image and positive self-esteem as they take pride in their physical accomplishments. The exhilaration that comes with running, laughing, and playing can also boost a child's mood. This leads to one of the most important reasons kids should play outside: its fun! When children do exercise it can benefit from regular exercise because if they are active they will have stronger muscles and bones.
Some of those reasons were because sports are fun and competitive, because our friends played or because of the status that we gained from playing these sports. Most of us did not realize the intangibles that we would gain from playing sports and these traits would build self esteem. Things such as confidence, responsibility, and sociability are intangibles that cannot be taught but can be instilled by playing and experiencing sports at a young age. When children begin playing sports with 2 their peers they are put into situations where they begin to compete against one another, they begin to socialize, build cohesion and become a team. When a child learns to become a team player they build confidence in his/her ability execute their part.
However, athletic coaches gain additional opportunity for communication by helping the student succeed. I strongly agree with this article. I agree because I don’t think school sports are killing the academics but the student itself. I agree on how the sponsored sport programs should be cut off or disconnected for a little while if the students or not taking it serious enough. But I also disagree with that part because without sports some people wouldn’t be who they are today or not as success because of the love they
Proper nutrition starts at home and parents need to learn how they can improve the quality of their children’s nutrition and instill the good habits that will ensure they have the greatest chance for a healthy, successful future. We all want our children to grow up happy and healthy, but we also have busy life-styles and find it all too easy to hit the drive-through before soccer practice or toast a pop-tart to eat on the way to school. We know our kids have access to school lunch, but we can’t always rely on that to be as healthy as we’d like it to be, and we really can’t guarantee that they will eat it. There are so many ads for junk food and fast food and sugary, chemical laden sodas out there, it can be hard to keep kids eating healthy. Children’s bodies are still growing and their brains are still developing, so it is critical that we make sure they are getting the nutrition that they need and develop healthy habits now.
