This sounds like fun!

P.E. classes for grownups

Remember playing dodgeball, tetherball and kickball as a kid. My kids don't know what those are because the school system has deemed them too competitive. What a bunch of malarkey. I used to love playing those games at recess. I am by no means competitive, but it was fun to get out and be a kid and play.

Wonder if we could get one started here in No. Alabama.

You know what I think is nuts...when I was in school, we has recess twice a day and P.E. every day. No wonder kids are overweight. We played kickball and dodgeball. Playing games like that taught life lessons.
What is the world coming too?
I am finally get old. I am sounding like my mother.

Now, there is even talk of eliminating PE altogether. WTF?!

I do my best to keep my 2 teens active, but I also believe that they need a mental break during the school day. They've eliminated certain games (dodgeball and kickball) from PE because they're TOO competitive. Ummm...seems to me that today's kids need that.
