Response to Ed

"Should schools be concerned with the physical and emotional well-being of their students as well as the intellectual?"

Yes. Schools (at least the public schools that I attended) usually show an interest in more than just the intellectual development of students. Much time is devoted to the students' development of morals and values (we had "Character Development" sessions in middle school, which was supposed to teach us how to be good people). More obviously, most schools require physical education up to a certain age. Since people younger than 18 typically spend most of their time in school, it makes sense for schools to take responsibility for more than just mere intellectual development. Between going to school, doing homework, after-school activities, and parents' busy work schedules, it is unrealistic to assume that parents will teach their children values outside of school. Schools should probably take responsibility for the development of students in most areas, such as intellectual, emotional, character, and yes, physical education. However, the way most schools go about physical education is problematic. Most people have horror stories about "gym class" from when they were younger. Sports are supposed to be recreational, so it seems odd to force somebody to do something for fun. Since sports are just one of many ways to get physical activity, I think there should be a broad range of physical activity for students to chose from. For example, MCLA requires 2 physical education classes, but I think our school has a lot to choose from, so there is something for everybody. Of course, you need a bigger budget to have more options for physical education, which many schools probably cannot do.
