One of my relevant evidence is some schools pay more tax money on sports train in 1 math class.That to me is showing more emphasis on sports.
Another relevant evidence is that even in 8th grade that some kids focus twice as much on sports than in acdamics.That shows that even some kids show more emphasis on sports.
My last relevant evidence is that some grades or scores drop because, some students spend more time on sports than on

    or many years, athletics have improved junior’s well-beings and their schooling, but some academies have been thinking of getting rid of these programs all together. The two articles mentioned that school should keep or get rid of sports. One is written by Amanda Ripley while the other Tim O’Shei. Both have good arguments yet Tim’s article provides more positive undertones and uses of sports. Therefore physical education should stay in schools because It helps improve children’s grades and health, equal opportunities are given to students that didn’t exercise before, AND athletic careers can open for people who play competitive games early in their lives.…

    U.S. News reported “that 55.5 percent of all high school students play a sport.” Students only have a few free class periods to choose what classes to take because of the number of required classes built into schedules. One of these required classes is Physical Education. Allowing student athletes to count the extracurricular sport they play as a P.E. credit will give them numerous advantages. This change will positively affect over half of high school students’ lives. Extracurricular sports should be counted as a physical education credit because sports are not only more beneficial than P.E., but it would allow student athletes to be less stressed about homework due to an open class period. This will enable students to perform better in school and in their sport due to less stress and better focus.…

    For decades schools have had sports been around but most of those sports are the cause of most failing grades.This is proven when the author states that the science class was deteriorating due to ill funds towards the classroom and more funds the sports instead.Another example of this is that the grades of the students that participate in these schools sports drop and are expensive to the student's family itself.I agree with this because it makes sense to first use the money on the school's classrooms instead of using it on the sports teams.My conclusion is that we should not have too much school sports so that the science lab is rotting in mold.…

    Activities and sports in schools is a great way for students to be involved, and to be active. I have done research and there hasn’t been one article I found on why sports shouldn’t be in schools. Having athletic programs and activities in schools are very helpful for students health, it develops team work, helps develop discipline and also perfection. School administrators, and parents, generally support high school activity programs because of the positive effect these activities appear to have on students of both genders. (Braddock P.1)…
