Sports and other activities should not be a part of school curriculum

Round 1
hridul: "what is the use of sports and other activities. i mean that one can get good jobs only by studying hard. and he is happy without sports then why today schools are presurizing us to do sports and other activities...."

wryan: "I would say that sports and other activities are very important to have in schools.

First of all, they help make well rounded people out of the student's. When a student experiences not only academics, but also music, art, theater, and sports they will be much more experienced individuals, and will be much more knowledgable as a result. This, in turn, will make them better able to succeed in all areas of their lives. In addition, it is just a good experience. Second, participating in sports will foster teamship and leadership skills. These skills aply very well to all aspects of the business world and will certainly help you when applying for a job. Finally, sports will keep students fit. Obesity, especially childhood obesity, is a huge problem in America, and sports can help curb it. In general, without these activities being offered in schools most students would bnever get exposed to them. Perhaps a student will be so inspired by his art class that he goes on to be a painter. Maybe a young musician will eventually become a famous pianist. PErhaps a football player will go on to play in the NFL. Maybe a young actor will become a star. There is no reason to limit what people can do. The more oppurtunities they have, the more they can achieve. (I would ver much reccomend that you get involved in some sort of spot or other activity. It really can be a great experience)"
