(1) Health education helps to prevent fatal diseases

Health education is important to improve health status of the communities. ... Health education raises students' knowledge about physical, mental, emotional and social health. It motivates youth to improve and maintain their health, prevent diseases, and avoid unhealthy behaviors.

Economic hard times require hard choices. We all know that. Maine schools, faced with further state and federal budget cuts are preparing to make some nearly impossible choices. We all want what is best for the students and residents of our communities, but in times like these that can be hard to define.

How do we find further savings in budgets that have already felt like “bare bones” for several years? How do we give our children the education they deserve when we find little financial ability to sustain programs that are now considered “enrichment”?

Why should we care about health education? Health education builds students' knowledge, skills and positive attitudes about health. Health education teaches about physical, mental, emotional and social health. It motivates students to improve and maintain their health, prevent disease and reduce risky behaviors.

Most of us who are now adults, learned about the human body, health and disease, physical fitness and nutrition not just from our parents, but in school. Where will Maine communities be in 5 years, 10 or 20 years if we don’t ensure that our children learn about their own health and understand how to preserve it? The financial and social toll of disease and addiction will continue to erode our society if we do not prioritize health education at the core of our most basic skills-teaching in school. Math and reading are essential, but so is our health.
