More than half of young people can't pass a simple situp test!? It's been a long time, do they still have gym classes in the lower grades? Or in any of the grades? Are there organized physical activities to get the kids moving? It is so obvious that if one is practically incapable of doing a few situps and pushups that their mental functioning can't be far behind. No blood flow to the brain. This is a disaster. Keep up the good work Dr Stokes. - Hugh Robertson Fri, 11 Nov 2011 19:07:13 +0100
