Answer:
I think that cutting P.E. is not good. The class allows us to combat our growing obesity problem and it provides leisure time for students, something they sorely need. In Finland, schools have 15 minute breaks after every 45 minutes of teaching. This keeps the kids relaxed and happy. Sadness and stress are damaging to their health and their grades.
Explanation:
At a time when American children are increasingly absorbed in their screens and one-third are overweight, the need for robust physical education is acute. Last month, the federal government updated its recommendations for physical activity for the first time in 10 years. The guidelines now include recommendations for children as young as age 3, and advise a minimum of 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous activity for ages 6-17. Alas, only one in five teenagers meets this standard.
Inactivity has been called “the new smoking,” and the prevalence of obesity and inactivity may well mean children today will lead shorter lifespans than their parents. Children desperately need to learn the importance of physical fitness, how to achieve it, and how to maintain it. Well-taught physical education keeps students moving and motivated, building their competence and confidence so that they can stay fit over a lifetime.
I'm not sure if there is a for sure answer for this, so I can only give my personal opinion.
The truth is if you care, you care. You can't really help that. There will be times where caring makes things unimaginably harder while other times, it makes you even stronger. The only real times where caring gets in the way is when you possibly lose a patient, or if you know you're going to. The only thing you can do is remind yourself that you are doing the best that you can/did the best that you can. If you know deep in your heart that you did everything you could possibly do, yes it will still hurt, but you will be able to forgive yourself and move on.
Perhaps there is no one dying, but caring about someone and seeing them hurt is difficult? Just take comfort in knowing that you are the one there to help heal them.
Hope this helps. :)
Preferably about 30 minutes a day
