In this video/blog posted on the Fischbowl by Karl Fisch a professor poses the question of "what skills do students need to be successful in the 21st century?” Mr. Fish’s students then later, based of this question, were given a homework assignment. The assignment consisted of answering the question posed above and making their own “Did you know” video. The video that was posted on Mr. Fisch’s blog was about the amount of exercise teenagers get and how little school emphasize on it. Schools make it seem like that “If it’s not tested it doesn’t count.”
After watching this video I felt like jumping on the tread mill and running till my legs fell off. In the video the amount of exercise that is done by teenagers today was discussed and debated. I fully agree that if a school does not feel that a certain subject of knowledge (such as Physical Education) is necessary they won’t test it therefore it isn’t important. I believe the when I am fit/exercise that I can concentrate better and I am able to think with a clear mind and to take away that privilege to exercise would almost be as if the schools are wanting test scores to drop and have students do worse in school. I believe that to make us-kids- able to function in society when we become adults, we need to be taught good habits when we are young and we need to get into a good routine of working out. Obesity is taking over quite a bit of teenagers today and can easily take others so to prevent this we need to keep our PE systems in schools today.
