▶ Your Answer : Nowadays, people generally believe the aim of schools is to focus on academic classes. Therefore, non academic subjects like music and physical activity should be regulated in the elementry school. I do not agree with this idea.
If there are alternatives not to stop musical and physical subjects, we have to find the ways willingly. Firstly, we can consider diminishing the non dcademic class time from twice a week to once a week. Likewise, by reducing the times, schools can use the extra given time on math and languages. Secondly, the first thing we have to remember is that sports and music are also parts of education the elementary shool pupils can learn crucial knowledge through. accumulating knowledge should not be the only goal when we teach the young but think about balance of education.
Also, there is a proverb " sound mind, sound body". This says that to study better and longer, both body and spirts have to cooperate together. without strong body and mind, studying hard and for a long time is impossible because they loose thier balance to focus. For this reason, they will be easily puzzled. In this case, sports for strong body, and music for releasing stress can be solutions to help them. According to the article by BBC, students who exercise regularly tend to focus more on the class and get better scores compared with those who do not.
To sum up, despite the importance of academic courses in the elementary schools, we should not quit the none academic classes due to the reasons mentioned above.
