MANY SCHOOLS OFFER PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM

According to UNICEF statistics, in 2018 there were 2. 3% teen suicides and 10 -15% self-intentions related to academic pressure and **is constantly increasing over the years. It is a fact that children today have to spend most of their time in the hectic schedule of school. The only solution that some schools implement sports** AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM. While this idea come up againts controvesary of other schools and parents. I believe that this measure is reasonable and effective because sports bring many benefits for them in terms of physical as well as mental strength *Sports* develop the physical as well in students. First of all, physical exercise helps students reduce stress. In fact, excercise is the best way to releases endorphins in the brain which calles “feel-good” chemicals because they can act as happiness booster. According to researcher regular excercise as a effective treatment depression and anxiety. Another reason is stay healthy. Without a doubt, if students do daily physical exercise reguraly, it will help them avoid unwanted illness such as: obesity, diabetes, and other mental illness. Besides, it also increases cardiovascular fitness as well as build strong bones. Most importantly, students are learned many essential life skills by physical activities. Playing sports helps them develop teamwork skill because if they won any competitions, they must know how to cooperate, listen to others and unite with each other. Also, they learn time-management and problem-solving skills, too through creating strategies for winning. On the other hand, some schools and parents are believe that playing sport makes students waste of time. Instead, they can learn other subjects such as reading or maths because PE are not as important as academic subjects. Nevertheless, I think that there are no subjects is more important, each of them has particular benefits. If students only develop academic knowledge without paying attention to health, students will be bored of theory at school and under the pressure related to learning. As the consequences, they become easily distrated, or even they have suicidal thoughts. Additionally, nowaday employers are not only require candidates with high qualifications but they also have solf skills. The best way to learn that skills is playing sport. Some schools claim that they are only responsible for teaching academic knowledge such as reading, maths, or sciences
