Answer 2

It helps reinforce the importance of nutrition and exercise. It also give those kids who don't exercise a whole lot the chance to do so.

Haha, this is funny because I'm currently doing a persuasive speech on why our school doesn't need it. (Our school requires it to graduate)

Answer 3

Well if you are popular it is a good time to socialize and look cute in gym clothes - if you are bookish it has no redeeming qualities at all. It promotes elitism and teaches that the strong and beautiful are far more valuable than the weak but intelligent. In theory it should teach good hygiene and health but in reality it is just another opportunity for bullying. You should state pros and cons because unless the bad stuff is talked about it can never be changed. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Start out with something like"childhood obesity is at an all time high".
I remember seeing something recently saying that children in the U.S are fatter than they've ever been. Also, childhood diabetes which is linked to obesity is also at an all time high.
Then search the internet for childhood obesity statistics.
Good luck

Answer 5

A PE class helps students learn how to live a healthy life style while having fun. It also gives students an opportunity to interact with their peers and helps them to gain a higher self esteem.
