Physical Education / Effects on Children's Health
[ send me this paper ]
A 14 page research paper exploring studies regarding children's level of fitness, health status, and whether or not physical education exercise improves their health. Educational studies have been conducted on the effects of exercise and physical education since the 1950s, yet, despite the results of the studies, PE programs are historically reduced or eliminated as costs rise and budgets shrink. Is this practice in the best interest of the children? Is there evidence of sufficient gains to warrant a cry from the public to retain, and in fact, to improve physical education programs? The writer of this paper offers research suggesting this is exactly what should happen. Specific research studies are described with statistics regarding the health problems already showing up in children of all ages.

Issues of Inclusion
[ send me this paper ]
The Education of the Handicapped Act enacted in 1975 initiated a change in the educational system of the United States. Full inclusion began to take hold in the 1980's. Full inclusion is a term used to describe the placement of children with disabilities in a regular education classroom with children who do not have disabilities. While the normalization of children's lives through their education placement is important, students' education needs should take priority over the philosophical aspects of placement. Many would say that a policy of segregation would be in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 and against the principle of least restrictive environment. Placing all children with disabilities in general classroom settings, without regard to individual needs, because it reflects current ideas about best practice, does not support the least restrictive environment concept nor the goal of providing appropriate educational programs for all children. This 5 page paper explores the issue of inclusion on disabled and non-disabled students. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Bibliography lists 5 sources.
