Many studies have discovered the importance of physical activity and play in developing and maintaining a healthy brain. Exercise actually makes your brain bigger, did you know that? Therefore, I think its no coincidence that at the same time in our history that kids are least active, they are also doing worse in school. Our response to this has been to remove recess, PE, art, and music...all subjects of action and play and added more sitting at a desk cramming. Do you see why this wont help? Countries with more recess, art, music, and PE do better academically. Perhaps its not just because of the enjoyment that can be had from these activities but actual brain changes from doing them. Thoughts?
