Sport as a compulsory school subject Although not many children and teenagers like doing sport, it is essential for us to exercise our bodies every now and then, especially for children. One advantage of doing sport is that it is very good for kids' health. Another positive aspect is that it encourages them to exercise their bodies instead of staying at home, watching tv. An additional point is that as a compulsory subject, it allows children a chance of physical activity and they can't refuse to do it. On the other hand, a drawback of doing sport is that many children and teenagers find it boring. Another negative aspect is that not everybody like doing it. A further argument against it is that it may make you feel tired and with body aching. In conclusion, I would say that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Even though doing sport may be boring, it is very important for our health.
