no. the mind and the body go together. schools have it all wrong. PE is not just one subject among many. PE should be 50% of the curriculum, 50% should be “academic” subjects. everyone should be in top physical condition when they leave high school. of course if we did this, academic grades would rise as well, because kids would be able to think. sports are not a luxury. PE is what effects most of your health and your life. We as a society ahve a very limited and dumb idea of what education and life preparation is.
