In the United States, no federal law requires public schools to teach physical education (PE). Implementing PE in public schools is the responsibility of each of the 50 states. Some states and school districts are making PE optional, not mandatory, for students. Such decisions are driven in part by budget cuts and efforts to raise student test scores in core academic subjects such as reading and math. Some school districts have even cut traditional PE altogether.

Do you believe that cutting or reducing the amount of PE in schools in favor of core academic subjects is a good idea? Why or why not? Use specific case studies and facts to support your opinion.

Should the federal government offer incentives to states to increase the number of students participating in regular physical activity? Why or why not? If so, what might the incentive plan look like? 10+ sentences

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.

Answer:

If we were to cut P.E. in public school systems, we would be introducing problems. Such as the growing rate of obesity in the US. Whether students like physical education or not, it helps by keeping kids healthy. One-third of American children are overweight, due to the increase in screen time. Last year, the federal government updated its recommendations for physical activity for the first time in 10 years. The recommendations say that every child 3 years of age and older should be spending at least 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous activity. but, only one in five teenagers meet this standard,  Even if the US were to cut P.E. in school systems, and leave the health up to the kids, who would even know if the students are doing the activities?

Nearsightedness Study
Myopia, or nearsightedness, results from a number of genetic and environmental factors. In 1999, Quinn et al studied the relation between myopia and ambient lighting at night (for example, from nightlights or room lights) during childhood.
Question 1. The data were gathered by the following procedure, reported in the study. "Between January and June 1998, parents of children aged 2-16 years [...] that were seen as outpatients in a university pediatric ophthalmology clinic completed a questionnaire on the child’s light exposure both at present and before the age of 2 years." Was this study observational, or was it a controlled experiment? Explain.

Question 2. The study found that of the children who slept with a room light on before the age of 2, 55% were myopic. Of the children who slept with a night light on before the age of 2, 34% were myopic. Of the children who slept in the dark before the age of 2, 10% were myopic. The study concluded that, "The prevalence of myopia [...] during childhood was strongly associated with ambient light exposure during sleep at night in the first two years after birth."
Do the data support this statement? You may interpret "strongly" in any reasonable qualitative way.

Question 3. On May 13, 1999, CNN reported the results of this study under the headline, "Night light may lead to nearsightedness." Does the conclusion of the study claim that night light causes nearsightedness?

Question 4. The final paragraph of the CNN report said that "several eye specialists" had pointed out that the study should have accounted for heredity.
Myopia is passed down from parents to children. It's also reasonable to suppose that myopic parents are more likely to leave lights on in their children's rooms than other parents. In what way does the knowledge of this possible genetic link affect how we consider the data?

7. Studying the Survivors
The Reverend Henry Whitehead was skeptical of John Snow’s conclusion about the Broad Street pump. After the Broad Street cholera epidemic ended, Whitehead set about trying to prove Snow wrong. (The history of the event is detailed here.)
He realized that Snow had focused his analysis almost entirely on those who had died. Whitehead, therefore, investigated the drinking habits of people in the Broad Street area who had not died in the outbreak.
What is the main reason it was important to study this group?
1) If Whitehead had found that many people had drunk water from the Broad Street pump and not caught cholera, that would have been evidence against Snow's hypothesis.
2) Survivors could provide additional information about what else could have caused the cholera, potentially unearthing another cause.
3) Through considering the survivors, Whitehead could have identified a cure for cholera.

Note: Whitehead ended up finding further proof that the Broad Street pump played the central role in spreading the disease to the people who lived near it. Eventually, he became one of Snow’s greatest defenders.
