 Re: Report: Students' Fitness Declines As They Age | |
I think we spend far to much time with children in their seats in class. Our bodies are meant to move. Recess, walking home from school and less homework would go a long way in the USA. Several years ago, my six year old son went to public school. Now mind he's six....there was no recess, 20 minutes for lunch. He got on the bus at 8:00am and go off the bus at 4:00pm. He always had at least 1.5 hours of homework. The kid was bouncing off the walls in two weeks. Most corporate executive don't stay in their seats that long. Why do we subject our kids to a school day that we would never put up with as an adult? Okay now I'm ranting, I've got to go. |
