3. Is not meant for everyone: Like everything else, not everyone was cut out for Physical
Education. Some people are naturals about it while others will struggle to create a balance.
4. There is potential for bullying: There is always the risk of students being bullied in the fields
during physical education classes. Although the incidences are few, they are usually very
unfortunate if they occur.
5. Interferes with academic course load: Physical Education will always come between the
student’s academic work and the expectations of the sport. It requires the student to be
disciplined enough to balance the two effectively.
6. Some teachers are forced to work extra hours: It is always a sacrifice for both students and
teachers in any instance where Physical Education is a factor.
7. Some talents may not be fully nurtured: In some instances, the student’s talent may not be
in sports and yet Physical Education is meant for sporting activities. This will ultimately
disadvantage the student.
8. Students are prone to injuries: Physical Education is just that; physical. If a student gets
injured in the course of doing physical activities it is always an unfortunate occurrence.
