doin my college paper on the lack of physical expression in our schools. what do you think about?

Argument: Are we suppose to all become "like Mike", or spending our days behind a bat, or soccer ball? Because of the lack of physical expression in our high schools some students resort to either choosing an extracurricular activity that they aren't interested in. Others who don't have the option of finding an interest in our sporting systems try their hand at either music or academic scholarships...that more often then not produces a small present of successful individuals. Because of this fact...those who can choose, those without the resource for physical express...add to the national drop out statistic. I believe that Martial arts, as an extra curricular activity, promotes critical thinking, health, discipline, and focus. It totally exhibits more of a complete socially involved individual than those who play sports like Basketball, Football, etc.

Do you think this would be a great argument

    To answer your question, I think about one thing:

    This has nothing to do with martial arts.

    I think you should get someone to proofread your paper before you turn it in, if this question is any indication of your writing skills.

    What I think you are trying to say is that the traditional high school sports do not appeal to all students, and therefore martial arts should be added as a school-sponsored extracurricular activity. Yes, you could base an essay on that thesis. But you should consider that few schools would be willing to endorse an activity whose primary purpose is to make its participants more skilled at fighting - something schools generally frown upon! (wrestling notwithstanding...)
