Title: Should student’s grade in gym affects his overall grade point average?
Purpose: To convince the audience that, a grade of gym should not be counted, as it might affect the overall grade for the majority of students.
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Attention Graber: How many of you are interested in gym class? And if you are then, should gym class should be included in GPA for grading?
B. Thesis: Grade of gym class should not be counted in overall grade point average for students.
C. Qualification: There was a physical training class which is similar to gym class, when I was in high school. I could not able to perform some exercises and, for that matter, my instructors always sarcastic to me to try harder. Also, he deducts points in some exercises that I unable to perform. This is one of the reasons why I urge to exclude grade point average of the gym class to count in grade point average.
II BODY
Transition Sentence: Firstly, I will talk about in terms of mental and physical ability.
A Reason 1: Mental and physical should not be compared, which is one of the factors that affects the overall GPA of students. a: If a student has better skills, for instance, in Mathematics than there are lots of opportunities like math contests and quizzes worldwide to take part, by which students learn problem solving skills. And as far as the physical strength is concerned, gym doesn 't genuinely do anything other than fun. b: Applicable for the
Q4: What difference in the overall GPAs of high school junior student-athletes compared to those high school junior student athletes that participate in other types of high school sports at one Alabama high school?
Should grades determined if you are allowed to play sports or be in any extracurricular activities? Some say no and a lot say yes. In this essay you will see both sides. While also seeing why I agree with the C rule. The C rule is what most schools are doing, and trying to get all of the schools to follow this rule. The C rule is a policy which states “ That in order for students to participate in extracurricular activities, they must have at least a C average in each of their required classes.” If you think about it they're not asking for much with this new policy.
If students are learning lifestyle tips, then gym should count toward GPA. Secondly, gym class provides an excellent opportunity to exercise in schools. Without physical education, students would sit around for eight hours a day and sitting too much could lead to major health issues in the future. Then, if physical education is removed as a counting course, students will no longer want to exercise. Another reason gym should not be removed as a counting course is because students will skip and not try in the class.
Physical education classes are not enjoyed by all, in fact, some students do their best to get out of the class each day, but without this class, students would sit in school for seven hours a day with the only exercise being walking from class to class. While changing clothes and possibly getting sweaty may not seem productive for students who have spent an hour doing their hair, or feel awkward changing in front of others, this class provides positive ways of fighting obesity, releasing energy, retaining more academically, and learning discipline. Thus, students should be required to take physical education courses in high school.
Who would want a lower GPA just because of their gym grade? Gym grades should not affect a student’s GPA because school is a place to learn, it is a way for students to get bullied, and students need exercise but by the time they are in middle and high school they should be responsible enough to get enough exercise. Therefore gym should be optional and not count towards a student’s GPA.
First of all, athletes could get injured in gym class. 150% of athletes get injured and are not able to play the sports they love, just because of gym. Therefore athletes could perhaps run into something and get a concussion, which could also lead into not being able to come to school. Education classes outweigh the risks “ being healthy and underweight does not have to hurt”. You would not want to be hurt would you.
Should students’ grades in Gym affect their GPA? In the United States today, the topic of whether Gym grades should affect GPA is a controversial one. The grades a student receives in Gym should not account for in their academic GPA.
Cardale Jones, former Ohio State University football quarterback tweets; “Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain’t come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS” . This tweet continues the stereotype that athletes are stupid and do not care about getting good grades. On average athletes have a higher grade point average than non athletes. In a recent study, it presents that college athletes had a high grade point average, averaging a 3.25, than college students, averaging a 3.01. Not all athletes fall under the dumb jock stereotype.
No one should have to face humiliation every time they walk through the gym doors. Some students find gym class a fun escape from other academic classes, while others find it absolutely dreadful. Learning physical education can create hatred towards exercise and lower a student’s self-esteem rather than improve it. For athletic students, gym class is a breeze while for less athletic students it can be quite the challenge. Many adolescents have disabilities that can limit their physical activities,
Students should not be able to play sports with a low GPA. Students should have good grades to play sports, because it is not fair to other students who play sports and keep their grades up. You can not get into college just for sports. You need to have a high GPA too. Other people need sports to help them get good grades. Student athletes should have to maintain a certain grade point average to participate in sports because it helps them develop life skills, gives them a future, and helps them with their confidence.
The gade in the gym class should not affect grade point averages. Some kids who are failing gym might have a medical condition and they might not perform as well as the other kids. Now, some other kids may not like that class and want to get out of there.
b. Now answer these questions, in 3-4 sentences, about how effective you think your study habits are.
Teachers have always used grades to measure the amount a student has learned. This practice is becoming ineffective. Many students have a wide range of grades, which show that grades may not show what a student really knows. Therefore, the standard grading system should be replaced. Some reasons why grades should be replaced are bad grades can hinder a child’s performance, grades define who a student is in the classroom, and grades are not an effective way to see if students have learned the material. The current grading system should be upgraded and every school should incorporate the plus/minus system in their method of grading.
A. Since, grading in PE is focused more on attendance than effort, many students are not
