MORE SPORT AT SCHOOL

an essay

It is often said that PE lessons most schools are unnecessary, but many students believe that there are more important subjects to focus on in order to graduate successfully. But what would happen if the PE lessons were cancelled altogether?

While less sport during the school week could bring students more time to concentrate on their academic growth, it could also negatively impact their overall health, both physical and mental.

Although it might not be the case for all teenagers, it seems to me that a great part of them only encounter sport activities of any kind during their weekly PE lessons. Consequently, taking those away from the timetable could result in declining physical abilities of many young people.

One solution that might appeal to both sides of the argument would be to make sport a mandatory after school activity. That way, there would be enough time for other subjects as well as for exercise.

It is debatable whether that measure would be accepted by everyone, but it is worth trying. After all, education is important, but there is nothing as precious as our health.

Do you have a sweet tooth? Healthy, but tasty pancakes:

Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 ¼ cups milk (whole milk is best in this recipe)
• 2 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
1. Melt the butter and set it aside to cool slightly.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the white whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, milk, honey and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Whisk in the melted butter.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just incorporated. It’s ok if a few lumps remain; try not to over-mix. The batter will be thick, but avoid adding more milk or your pancakes may turn out flat rather than light and fluffy.
5. Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Scoop batter by scant ¼ cup onto the heated griddle. Cook on the first side until bubbles begin to form and the bottom side of the pancakes are lightly brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip pancakes and cook until the second side is browned, about 2 minutes more. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree oven while you cook the rest of the pancakes.
