[QUOTE="RKM, post: 1879800, member: 552"] Parents don't want fat kids? Take away their X-box, laptops and limit TV shows to one hour a night. Sounds easy right? Back in the day, kids could go outside after dinner, play like hell (oops...there goes the diploma) run the neighborhood and be home safe and sound and tired enough to fall asleep. We can't do that anymore. The minute you walk outside you worry about someone snatching the kid, harming your child, or some gang banger shooting up the neighborhood because someone "disrespected" them. Schools? fuggitabout it........can't play at recess because someone might get hurt. No more dodgeball, creates hostility and someone might lose. PE? oh hell no.....that mean ol' coach made me do pushups, run laps and is picking on me. Play a game? Great idea....yet no score...we don't want little johnny to feel bad because his team losing. Go outside and play a good ol' game of Army? Again..hell no! Make that finger motion like you have a gun and wind up in detention, suspension or seeing the school counselor for your violent tendencies that you obviously learned at home. Eating healthy at school? Great idea, but only if parents back it up, but schools need to get back to the basics of physical activity, games and letting kids be kids. [/QUOTE]
