How did foreign middle school students go to physical education class?

The physical education curriculum in the United States is extremely rich from the beginning of elementary school, and it is all-encompassing after college. Except for regular events such as football, basketball and tennis, almost all students' hobbies can be satisfied: if you want to keep fit, there are meditation classes; If you want to shape, there are yoga classes; If you are sociable, there are dance classes; If you plan to join the army, there are military training courses; I want to explore the Amazon jungle in the summer vacation and have a field survival class. In addition, there are equestrian, American football, swimming, skating, fencing, boxing and so on. Only you can't think of it, and there is nothing they can't do. Moreover, physical education teaching has flexibility, which is generally divided into four types: competitive physical education teaching, fitness physical education teaching, social practice teaching and discipline-related teaching. At the beginning of course selection, each student must first determine his own learning purpose, and then choose different courses and difficulties according to his hobbies and personal qualities.

Physical education class in the United States has a broad social foundation. In the community, parents can see scenes of running and playing baseball with their children everywhere, and each community is also equipped with fitness equipment for everyone to use for free. If students can join the school team, it will be a great honor for the whole family, and parents will hold family gatherings to celebrate. In class, teachers not only teach sports skills, but also pay attention to cultivating students' personality, emphasizing high intensity and high competitiveness, encouraging them to show their edge in fierce competition and build campus sports stars. On American campus, the people who admire most are not necessarily those who simply rank first, but those who can bring honor to their alma mater in inter-school sports competitions. These students often become the reserve force of national sports talents. Both the American Professional Basketball League and the American National Football League will go to the college draft. Students' interest in some special sports is stimulated, and excellent talents will gradually move from amateur to specialization and professionalism.

A friend who came back from Cornell University in the United States said that when you meet people from China on campus, you can tell whether you are an international student or a second-generation immigrant just by your figure. China students studying in the United States are generally either too fat or too thin. Although the words are a bit extreme, the phenomenon is worth reflecting. China's long-term exam-oriented education makes the evaluation standard for students more "brain" than "limb". physical education class can only focus on routine projects, which is difficult to meet students' individual differences and hobbies. The physical education teaching system in the United States is difficult to be widely implemented in China for a while.

A friend who came back from England said, "What do British people do when they go to physical education class? How can you play with others if you haven't seen cricket or football? People don't want to play football, even if they play occasionally, their level is much higher than ours. In the eyes of the British, sports are very important. The gap between your children in China is not a little. As a result, people just discriminate against you. "
