The science of motion that creates the chemistry of adrenalin working in our minds, bodies, and souls is very important to feel alive. You can make your choice to be the traditional Jack who had SO much work that the lack of play made him a dull boy. In the age of the laptop, when every kid is busy flying kites on the visual display unit rather than doing the same under the blue sky while feeling the breeze through the greens brushing across his face, the importance of sports on the field can hardly be exaggerated.
The limitations of classroom teaching were felt in the 20th century by Tagore when he decided that true learning could take place in the shade of the trees rather than the suffocating surroundings of the claustrophobic classrooms. Perhaps the same idea echoed the minds of the Vedic rishis when the upanishadic pattern of teaching in the Vedic period necessitated the peaceful, green, and open presence of the ashrams or ‘asramas’. This was a time when equal stress was laid on the development of the mind and the body.
The ideal gentleman was expected to be a balanced combination of intellectual as well as physical dexterity. The present obsession with the power of the intellect and the unlimited financial bliss that accompanies the same, however, makes it possible for a wimp of a person to masquerade as a gentleman. Thus the absence of physical fitness in the modern man has reached the level where his chivalry is limited to killing cockroaches. The absence of sports paralyses a man’s ability to be a part of the physical evolution that takes place in Nature so quietly and this is so obvious.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
But the importance of classroom teaching and the usefulness of the traditional lecture method whereby a student has the opportunity of evolving intellectually have also been proved. Mere assertion of sports on the open field being a more useful tool of learning would not do for then you shall have to do a lot trying to negate the intellectual giants who have vindicated the usefulness of the classroom teaching in the 19th and the 20th centuries across the world.
But the problem arises when we shut our eyes to the bitter experiences of millions of other students who have been frustrated with the limitations of classroom teaching and those include people like Albert Einstein and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. While the former gained depreciation from his history teacher for being a nuisance in the class, the latter ended up violently reacting to the insults showered on the Indian community by a British Professor at Presidency College.
The examples above are important because they tell us clearly that though classroom teaching has its obvious advantages of being in an enclosure where one can focus his mind in a convenient silence that encourages concentration, the advantages involved in other methods of imparting lessons can hardly be neglected.
Answer:
Participation in school sports gives kids a sense of belonging and of accomplishment when the game is played well. They learn to be part of a team and to share success and failure. They discover the value of friendship, mutual respect and cooperation, how to set goals, to strategize and to plan – all important skills to acquire in preparation for adulthood.
Sports teaches some tough lessons too – that the best may not always win, that people sometimes cheat, and that 110-per-cent effort may not carry the day- and that despite it all, you have to come back and do it again. Disappointments build character and resilience to cope with the hard knocks later in life.
One of the most important goals of education is social development. Not only should students have the ability to interact with others, they should feel comfortable when dealing with both individuals their age and older. Extracurricular activities certainly provide the opportunity for students to grow socially. Participation in extracurricular activities improves student’s self-esteem and improves race relations. Even educators believe extracurricular activities improve a student’s social health. Activities increase a student’s confidence around their classmates and teach them to interact with others in a mature manner. A student’s growth and maturity socially is just as crucial as any other lesson learned in school and it is important to recognize the great opportunities extracurricular activities provide for students to do so in an easy and healthy manner.
Thus I conclude my speech by saying that some of the most important lessons in life are not learned inside of classroom but outside of it.
