Discussion report 8

I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the meeting was that weather we should have extra exercise classes before the first class in the morning in the junior high school or not. The academic ability of the students is very high, but they lack physical strength. It is hard to do club activities because the number of students is not enough.
There were 5 panelists. Kazuyo called Kazuko is a member of the Japan physical association. Yuki called Yuta is a junior high school student. He likes doing sports. They agreed with the statement. Hitomi called Yoshiko has a son who is a junior high school student. He doesn't like sports. If the extra exercise class start, Yoshiko will have to get up earlier than now. Kisato called Manabu works at Benessa corporation. He doesn't want to lose the academic abilities. Kana called Takao is a mathematics teacher. He thinks that many students will sleep at classes because of tiredness from the exercise. Yoshiko, Manabu, and Takao disagreed with the statement.
The important point of the discussion was which is important, academic ability or physical strength. The outcome of the discussion was that the junior high school will have extra exercise classes in the morning twice a week. Students in the third grade don't need take the class. They will start the class from April.
I think that they don't need develop students' physical strength because their academic abilities are very high. They can extend their academic abilities. If they decrease the number of club activities, they can do sports. My elementary school had 60 students and 4 club activities, so we could enjoy club activities. I didn't know why it is a problem that students' physical abilities were low. Kazuko talked with the result of a survey of Tokyo, so her opinion was persuasive.
