Should physical education be required in public schools?

Physical education is a nationwide struggle for many students.

Students have varying opinions on the value of physical education classes.

Physical education teachers believe physical education has a positive effect on teenagers. It has been proven to positively impact health by engaging young kids in new activities and exercises that are fun and help students stay in shape. For some kids, this may be the only activity they get all day.

Gianna Bunnelle, 10, says “It is good for students to have a phys. ed class so they are not just sitting in a chair every day all day”

Not everyone feels that a physical education class is needed. Some students become anxious or stressed when having to change in the locker rooms or even simply just participate in the class.

Kalli Halas, 10, said that she gets stressed about the limited time we have to change. She said, “I feel rushed and it gives me another reason I don’t want to go to phys. ed class”

Why do zombies eat brains?

Halloween is an enigma wrapped in a scream shrouded in many mysteries. Barley Creek is happy to answer some of the most pressing questions today, like why do zombies eat brains? As it turns out, there's some lively academic debate about the zombie diet. Some say that zombies crave the high serotonin levels found in recently-alive brains because it helps to ease the emotional pain from, you know, being a zombie. Nutritionists, on the other hand, suggest that zombies are actually eating Keto, what with brains being 60% fat, 40% protein, and almost no carbs. On the third hand (because this is Halloween and having three hands is very much on brand), movie buffs claim that everything we know about zombies derives from the 1968 classic film, Night of the Living Dead, which is an interesting theory except for the fact that zombies in that movie did not eat brains. (Flesh yes, brains no.) The truth is, you can probably blame the brain cravings on Homer Simpson.
