Significance of Sports in School Education
Recently, significance of sports in school education has triggered a discussion about its merits and demerits. For what has been indicated in the article above, some applaud that sports is a golden key to students' development in many respects, whereas others hold that since doing sports will take up students' study time, and thus it may exert pernicious effects on their grades and achievements of education. Weighing the pros and cons of sports in school education, I'm inclined to concur with the perspective that it spells more blessings than disasters.
First and foremost, it is admitted that sports, in essence, enable students to achieve well- being both physically and mentally. In the contemporary frantic world where students are pushed forward excessively on obtaining higher academic grade and GPA, they may undergo chronic fatigue and mental problems, like mental breakdown, and even worse, depression. Meanwhile, students who sit long hours for studying are subject to backache, headache, or the heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. If left it slide, it is unlikely for them to make substantive headway with a debilitating body and soul. However, thanks to sports in school education, students can currently have a vital outlet for release by doing work- outs, playing badminton, jumping ropes and the like. And thus, owing to a balance between study and life acquired from sports, it is motivating for students to efficiently continue the journey of studying and stay in the mental flow.
Furthermore, it is noteworthy that sports in school education can positively affect students' social health. Instead of burying themselves into study all day long and leading a monotonous and isolated lifestyle, students who walk out of classroom for sports are prone to come out of their shells and kick off socializing with peers through cooperation in sports activities like a basketball game, which will largely galvanize them to forge long- term friendship with others and develop team spirits. Additionally, in light of the social skills cultivated through sports in schools, when students are stepping into workplace, they can gain prospective climbing-up of career ladder by networking with line- managers, colleagues and clients, which will earn them additional profits and recognition.
Last but not least, with sports in school education, an all- round talent development goal of school education will become easier to get accomplished. Lately, since our New Curriculum Standard has been updated by the Ministry of Education, the requirements for fostering new talents in the new era cannot be underlined too much. Under this circumstance, students are no longer cultivated to be "nerds and geeks", but transforms into the ones who know when to do sports, how to exercise, how to reconnect to life and ultimately, become more lively and creative. Aside from students themselves, the ambience of school will be full of vitality accordingly. In addition, since youth are the future of China, by abiding the comprehensive development objective from the administration, especially on sports, our students will be more suffice to carry forward the Great Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation.
In a nutshell, there will, no doubt, be a brighter future for students, the education system and the nation through the implementation of sports in school education. Nevertheless it will cost some time of students, but it serves as a stepping stone to a full future development for students.
