Explanation:
Health education promotes learning in other subjects. Studies have shown that reading and math scores of students who received comprehensive health education were significantly higher than those who did not. In general, healthy students learn better. They have higher attendance, have better grades, and perform better on tests.*
Without basic health literacy, societies are at a huge disadvantage both economically and culturally. It may seem like a stretch to compare Maine communities to those in poorer or developing countries where knowledge about health and healthcare are not as widespread as in the U.S., but ask yourself, where did you learn about health and how to be healthy?
Most of us who are now adults, learned about the human body, health and disease, physical fitness and nutrition not just from our parents, but in school. Where will Maine communities be in 5 years, 10 or 20 years if we don’t ensure that our children learn about their own health and understand how to preserve it? The financial and social toll of disease and addiction will continue to erode our society if we do not prioritize health education at the core of our most basic skills-teaching in school. Math and reading are essential, but so is our health.
Finally, let’s ask ourselves this question: If we don’t provide health education in schools, what are our children going to learn from the general culture around them?
They are surrounded by a culture that is creating an epidemic of childhood obesity, of kids abusing drugs at younger and younger ages, and that advertises tobacco products specifically to appeal to them. If we don’t counter those cultural messages with information and support for making good choices, then we jeopardize both children and their parents who are trying to raise kids who will be healthy, productive members of society.
Yes, economic hard times require hard choices and schools are faced with a lot of them. But let’s not create more problems down the road for all of us by cutting health education to save us something in the short term.
