There should be longer physical education periods in school.
In school, the gym is the only class where you can talk to your friends and not get in trouble.
Some students like being active and moving around because they get bored when they have to be seated in other classes.
In the gym students can play a variety of sports. Sports like basketball, football, soccer, and volleyball are offered.
For the students that don’t want to play those sports, they can walk around the gym.
WJPS 11th grader Anthony Canale said, “I would like longer gym periods because I’m able to hang out with my friends and play sports. I’m able to talk to my friends, and I won’t get in trouble. In the gym I like playing football with my friends, and sometimes we play a game called routes. It’s a one-on-one game. Someone is on defense, and the other person is on offense.”
WJPS 11th grader Noah Lim said, “ I would like longer gym periods because I’m able to stay active, play sports, and hang out with my friends. I like playing basketball with my friends in the gym. We usually get teams of three and play against each other. It’s really fun.”
