The deal about R.A.C. is that the teachers think that R.A.C. is like the same thing as gym. When really it is not. Like do the teachers think that we like running when most of us don’t. Yes some people do but most people don’t. We get enough exercise at school and at home.
I know that teachers want us to do better things in our lives other than just sitting and doing nothing. I know that yes we should do other things with our lives and that other people want to do nothing with their lives other than just sitting and watching TV.
Certain people like R.A.C. but lots of people don’t. The people who like R.A.C. they are going to be healthier.
I want to know what you think.

BLOGGER OF THE WEEK
R.A.C. or Running Across Canada is an extension of gym and you are encouraged to do it so that you don't have a heart attack when you're 20!
ReplyDeleteLook at any health article and you will see that children in the 21st century are inactive and becoming ever more overweight. Being active when you're 10, 11 or 12 goes a long way to ensuring that you stay active as an adult. This healthy habit should help you to live longer.
I'd also be curious to hear whether most people don't like to run. I think you'd be surprised...
Whatever your opinion is about R.A.C., all students in our class have improved since the beginning of September, whether you believe it or not.
Mr. Yogi Bear, you have been one of the most improved students since last year. Consistent top 10 finish. Keep it up.

I can't make up my mind because R.A.C is so tiring its not even funny,but on the other hand it gets you moving and fit. On the other hand,the BIG HAM is right,you won't have a heart attack for a long time. Even if I get a good place or a position it makes me have a stroke.I couldn't breathe because my throat was too dry.I really like or hate R.A.C. it is OK.
ReplyDelete-poogibears^^
I think it is a good idea to do R.A.C because it keeps you fit and healthy. And the BIG HAM is right because if I do R.A.C and stay healthy I will not have a heart attack or stroke when we are 20! That would be silly, and it would mostly be caused because you complained about R.A.C when you were in grades 4,5 and 6!
ReplyDeleteAnd anyways, I like to run. Nobody said I'm the best at it, but hey... I'm healthy! (I think :P)
I bet a lot of people like to run, they just don't like to do R.A.C!
My point is proved! :)

I do agree, but if we have to have it, at least do it at the end of the day, and not the morning, because I mean, come on, we just got up, the last thing were are gonna wanna do is run a lap and a half around the school, and also most of the time it's cold in the morning.
ReplyDelete-fraqu attack
I disagree with this, I think its great to have R.A.C because most kids at our school don't have an after school activity that is a sport. Sure, its not my favorite thing to do, but most kids need this for our health. :P
ReplyDelete~Purple Bunny
Hey do you think I like R.A.C. Never. In my country I am not used to it and I dont run a lot I am not a good runner so I hate R.A.C and also I am not used in running in cool breese and so I hate R.A.C. I wish we have a rule saying that who ever wants to run can run and the others can play.If I become a student counciler I will make up this rule.
ReplyDelete-pinkGIANT
Um... R.A.C is exactly like gym or better (at least i think) and we don't get a lot of exercise a home.All we do is do are homework and play video games (some of us don't even do are homework) :O. So think about that yogi in the mean time ill just shut my big yap.
ReplyDelete-Kpuey
I agree because that what you say that R.A.C is gonna get you fit and healthy...but i didn't like R.A.C because it's gonna make you tired.
ReplyDeleteJHepoy_06
I don't really mind R.A.C. because it's not that hard and it gives me goals. The only thing that I don't like about R.A.C is that you have to run 1 1/2 laps I wish that we only had to run 1 lap. I really don't want to have a heart attak when I'm 20 either. I just usaly jog most of the time anyways.
ReplyDelete-Purple Cow
I think it is good that we are doing R.A.C. becouse I beat a lote of us dont do much exersize much when there at home and i will admete I dont. So I thing it is good we are doing R.A.C. it is a good way to get our selfes going in the morning.
ReplyDelete-PAPA SMURF
Mr.yogi bear I think that R.A.C. is a pain to do because it is very tiring. But then again it is very good for your health and it keeps you fit.
ReplyDeleteSo keep exercising and have fun. :)
~Sweetpea~
Actually R.A.C. isn't that bad. The only thing that I hate about R.A.C. is that you're out of breath after you are done running.It sort of like you are going to die.Especially if you have a cough like I did last time we did R.A.C. A lap and a half is a little bit bad, but is also a little bit hard. Half way there, I almost tripped because I was soooo out of breath.
ReplyDelete~WILLY WONKA~
To me, I think that R.A.C. is horrible. I hat that now we have to run 1 and a half killomiters instead of just one killomiter. I agree with you Kpuey.
ReplyDeletezombie
R.A.C is a pain in the butt. Because you have to run all the way around the school which is like 2 kilometers. But none the less it has to be done:( I just don't get it why whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. seriously I just want to sit and do math.
ReplyDeleteDiddly squat
I think it would be better to just gym all the time, if we do that at least the teacher would know that doing some exercise. some people could just walk the whole time and run at the end. Or instead of doing gym or RAC just run a small area so the teacher could see us the whole time so we can't walk.
ReplyDeleteBut that's just what i think!!
-boodasnip
I for one like RAC because I like to jog and it helps our heart to get use to this physical activity. I find it sort of fun and I think that every time we do this I think I'm getting a bit faster in my long distance jog if we time this it would be fun.
ReplyDelete~Small Iahk
I HATE R.A.C.! Really really hate it. Why do we have to do R.A.C.? No one likes it, well no one likes it! BAN, R.A.C., BAN R.A.C., BAN R.A.C.!! It is long, it is tiring, it is boring! If R.A.C. was only half a lap, it would be fine. So, ya.
ReplyDelete~~~ khajiit~~~
I think that R.A.C is AWESOME!! And maybe some of you people think its usless but im 80% sure
ReplyDeletethat when you get older your going to thank
the people who made you do R.A.C. Like last year
I heard that there was a girl here a couple
years ago who completly hated R.A.C. and when she went into junour high she was glad that she
R.A.C because she used to be one of the slost in her class but after she finished and moved to a diffrent school she was the fastst, and she blamed it all on R.A.C.
And plus it keeps you healthy and fit.
Nummy Nummy Yum Yum
I agree with Mr.yogibear,I HATE R.A.C.!!!What is the deal with R.A.C.!?!?!?R.A.C. should be replaced with a hour long archery class.Who knows when one of us will need to hunt down a speedy cimpmunk for food if they get lost looking for firewood for ther campfire vaction.DOWN WITH R.A.C.
ReplyDelete~falcon

Deletesomeone you shall never know
I agree/disagree with you guys.I do not like to run.I love to bike for me i would have R.A.C with bikes.(i know its silly)Do not judge me.>:(

*turtle lover * :)
I LOVE R.A.C NOW.I LOVE TO RUN
Delete*turtle lover * :)
I totaly HATE rac :< so to have it removed woud be great :> so i am against it
ReplyDelete~nuclear waffles
This is to the peple how thought that going a lap and a half around the school was 2 killometers: Around the school once is about 800m. I think I know this because when we did Track&Field last year, we had to run the 800m... ALMOST all the way around the school. So that makes a lap and a half a killometer and a little more (probably!) I apologize if I'm wrong, but I think I'm right!
ReplyDeleteMy point is proved! :) (Why do I put that at the end of ever blog post???)
**Purple Unicorn**
I totally agree with falcon!
ReplyDelete-poogibears^^
hey guys its me oogady boogady and its awsome at my new school...... but i still miss all over back there. hope everything is going well and ill be checking in on the blogs oh so often!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am from the german grade in our school on Forest15 and I absolutley HATE R.A.C! I always say that when I get older if i become Priminister of Canada I will band R.A.C from every school across the country!
ReplyDeleteWhen my mom was little she said she used to be winning first place in all her track meets at school.Part of the reason that I don't like R.A.C is that I am not very good at it so I'll keep practicing my running and maybe,just maybe I'll reconsider banding it!
~Jigger101
I love R.A.C because I have lots of endurance and I am the fastest grade 5 bilingual. Besides, I like beating my own records and setting and breaking other records. It's really fun and challenging. I think R.A.C should be mandatory in all schools. Because it gives people a good exercise and my mom tells me healthy body healthy mind.
ReplyDelete~forza
I like R.A.C! But I get cramps.
ReplyDeleteI am in one of the yonger grades but our thecher makes us do one in a half laps.
~flipster13
I think RAC is great outdoors. Its healthy, it keeps you fit and its fun. I think we should do RAC outdoors because I dont like doing it inside. We shouldnt do it outside all year long though, just on warm days. If we do it outside on cold days people could get sick, like me and some other people. Plus we should not do gym on the same day as RAC
ReplyDelete~Turtle 101 and ~Swirly R
You shouldnt walk around the school because it doesnt give you excersise. If one and a half laps is too much then ask your teacher too make your way shorter(or longer).
ReplyDeleteOr we should each have our own distances
~Turtle 101
BAN R.A.C. NOW! I AM A HATER FOR R.A.C.!
ReplyDeleteLet's have a big talk with THIS! I mean R.A.C.! WELL, THAT IS IT FOR R.A.C.! When do we have a break of R.A.C.! NOW I SHALL SAY now I TELL YOU,NOW! Spottedpaw over and out.
