How about letting kids in elementary school have recess???

Not an organized gym class - a plain old, run around like crazy, yell, chase the other kids, run away from the other kids, swing from the monkey bars, slide down the big slide recess.

But no, we have too much to teach kids, so they have sit still for six hours. And people wonder why obesity and ADD and ADHD are so prevalent. Oops, I forgot. I'm not a member of the NEA, so I don't know anything about brainwashing, whoops, make that educating children.

Yeah, I didn't think you sounded like an officially permitted edu-muh-cator. Seriously, we can't be letting the kids run around without organized participation in activities designed by those able to properly reedumacate them. They'd probably be kissing on sexually harassing each other and playing cops and robbers making their hands into weapons of mass destruction.

Not to mention summer time. No more days of just having fun and goofing off. Now-a-days you're supposed to send your children to summer school to stay ahead of to a few different types of specialized camps.
