Exercise Improves Kids’ Academics From the “I Told You So Department” comes this article and studies:Exercise Improves Kids’ Academics, by Dan Peterson, Live Science’s Sports Columnist I’ll let the article mostly speak for itself but will post this one telling quote:“Ironically, one of the solutions proposed for raising test scores, the federal No Child Left Behind program, encourages schools to focus more of the school day on the core academic subjects while reducing class time in peripheral subjects, like art, music, and physical education. In fact, only 6 percent of American high schools offer a daily gym class. Yet a 2002 Virginia Tech study showed no relationship between reduced class time in those subjects and higher overall standardized tests.”Learning is messy!
