Stop Making Schools Sedentary

Neil Steyskal writes "Today's Christian Science Monitor has a good letter about a very important issue: boys and schools. Read the letter here, titled "Let those kids move around!"" From the article: "When the education system doesn't meet the needs of boys or require them to endure its hardships for its promise, many boys learn that it is not for them. Instead of trying to direct boys (and girls) into a sedentary mold, and allowing large numbers of men to be marginalized in their social contribution, shouldn't we attempt to make society more people-friendly?" I thought this quote sounded particularly Warren Farrell-like. The letter makes some excellent points.
