The clock radio came on, as usual this morning, and they are running a piece on a miraculous new educational concept. Radical it is. They mix athletics with class room teaching. I listened to a long learned discussion of the wonderful neurological effects, and how much more ready to learn to children are after exercise. They made it sound like the greatest innovation since Socrates.
Of course this is something any parent knows. Children are full of bounce and energy and you have to get 'em out of doors and run off steam if you want 'em to sit still indoors. I used to take 'em out down hill skiing. After even a half a day skiing Cannon, they would be so tired that they would fall asleep on the living room rug in front of the TV.
I wonder if the ed majors running our school still do recess.
