Encourage excercises
It's no secret that many students do not like to stay in classrooms and study all day.: Quite a lot of them don't like outdoor PE classes either.
"Our three PE classes every week are all run, run and run. It's for our High School Entrance Examination (中考)，said Li Liangjing, 15 , a junior 3 student from Xiamen.
. Two months ago, the Shanghai University of Sport made a survey from over 110,000 students and worked out teenagers' physical index (指数). For junior high school students, their physical health score is 94.1, which is quite good. But this doesn't mean they are active in sports, because their awareness (意识) and willingness (意愿) to do physical exercises only scores at 74.8., reported the Paper News.
Because of that, the Shanghai Education committee decided to put more importance on the general physical quotient (体商) of teenagers. This means that schools should pay attention to not only students' health and sports test scores, but also their knowledge, skills and willingness to do exercises.
Thus, making PE classes more fun and growing students' interests in sports seems necessary, according to the deputy director (副主任) of the Shanghai Education Committee, Wang Ping. , such as throwing the handkerchief (手绢) and the eagle and the chickens. They also teach students different sports like tennis, swimming and martial art (武术).
", which can be good for all their lives," said Wang. And experts (专家) from the Shanghai University of Sport are planning to introduce the idea to more provinces.
