启德雅思学员 王颖
It is certainly a controversial issue whether or not sports and exercises should be held in the primary school. This issue has intrigued not only some psychologists and scholars but also some parents and students. People retain diverse opinions towards this public focus. Before rendering my opinion, it is essential to explore this complicated phenomenon from both sides .
The advocators generally hold a belief that it offers a host of great benefits to student’s early education. To begin with, it instills a strong sense of responsibility which it is necessary to their future success. Children are now in the formative years, they are not mature enough so that they are vulnerable to some social evils and easily go astray. Moreover, it can increase the mutual understanding and promote friendship between teachers and students,thus forming a brand new type of student-teacher relationship. It is a symbol of student-oriented education and a step forward towards quality education. Last but not least, sports and exercises subjects help to cultivate teamwork spirits and learn to compromise and cooperate. Therefore, it creates school ethos and a sense of belonging to a particular community. As such it promotes discipline and helps to drive up academic standards.
The opponents, however, are strongly against to this stance for the following mentioned aspects. Primarily, the system may lead to the spread of competitive, thus breeds a series of psychological problems, such as depression, negativity, selfishness, self-centeredness, introversion, suspicion, anxiety and shame which destroy character and relationships. Furthermore, sports may exert a negative impact on one’s study because it occupies too much valuable time of a student. A student’s sole task is to make good use of his limited time to acquire knowledge and skills which are essential to his future career.
In the final analysis, both sides have its sound effects. However, if asked to make a choice, I will not hesitate to consent to the former. I firmly believe that sports and exercise courses play an active role in raising the development of student’s intelligence quotient, adverse quotient and emotional quotient which should be highly promoted in the primary school.
