When I was in school, physical education was mandatory. For some years after that students did less activity while emphasizing academics.
Fortunately there has been more physical activity in school in recent years. And in a recent study of over 10,000 children aged 4-13 physical exercise was significantly associated with improved academic skills in reading and math!
So get your kids to exercise! Its important to health and academics!
