Should physical education be compulsory for young people? (Correction Required) There is no doubt that physical education can be seen in every school in Thailand. Some people say physical education is necessary and good for young people, while others say physical education is unnecessary and should not be compulsory for the young people. One advantage of physical education is strengthening the young people's bodies. This helps them improving movement skills to be more dexterous, not sluggish. Another positive aspect of physical education is encouraging them to socialize with other people. They will learn to work in a team, and harmony can lead to success. In addition, physical education can also benefit them from releasing stresses and relaxing after schoolwork. On the other hand, there are some arguments against a compulsion of physical education for young people. Firstly, some parents do not think that physical education is as necessary as other classes, such as Math, Science and English. They think that physical education is wasting their children's time. Secondly, young people themselves are really not interested in exercise, so they have no motivation to attend this class. Another drawback is that some of them have had bad experiences with physical education before. For example, they got scolded by their P.E. teacher because of their weak performance, or they were blamed by other classmates for one of a failure in a team. These negative consequences eventually cause pressure and pessimism when they get to physical education. To conclude, there are both advantages and disadvantages of physical education. In my opinion, young people not only need t be developed academic skills for their success, but also physical and social skills. However, they are going to be in a larger community in the future, I think physical education is essential for them.
