Health, in its purest sense, is not the primary mission of the nation's K-12 schools, so why should schools feel obligated to address cancer education? The nation's educators are under tremendous pressure to prepare students to pass tests in English language arts and mathematics. As a result, health education and physical education are often assigned third-class status in many of the nation's schools, despite numerous studies supporting the connection between health and academic achievement. Is there a place for cancer prevention education in today's K-12 schools? This commentary explores existing structures that affect cancer prevention education and offers suggestions to improve K-12 health education initiatives.
从纯粹的健康意义上讲，学校并不是国家 K-12 教育系统的主要任务，那么学校为何会觉得有义务开展癌症教育呢？国家的教育工作者面临着巨大的压力，需要让学生通过英语语言艺术和数学的考试。因此，尽管有大量研究支持健康与学业成绩之间的联系，但健康教育和体育教育在许多国家的学校中往往处于次要地位。在当今的 K-12 学校中，是否有癌症预防教育的一席之地？本评论探讨了影响癌症预防教育的现有结构，并提出了改进 K-12 健康教育计划的建议。
