Physical Education's Moral Benefits

Physical Education is a perfect way to lead students down the correct moral path. During Physical Education classes students learn how their individual decisions can contribute to their team, which is important for them to be successful in their future endeavors.

Throughout Physical Education classes, students are forced to work together in order to accomplish a goal. Whether it be winning a game or helping get each team member through an obstacle, students are faced with many difficult decisions. Here students must figure out the best way to get through the task, and they each have to ask themselves if they are going to work together in order to help the team or walk down their own path, which will only hurt the team. Students will begin to develop a sense of self awareness and think about how their actions and behaviors are going to affect the rest of their team. In order to be successful in life, students must learn to think less about themselves and more about the success of their team. Physical Education starts to lay this superior moral foundation in each student from a young age.
