  I agree that bus rides are a time for social interaction and other sorts of fun-having shenanigans. I also agree with your point that this district should be applauded for thinking outside the box. However, our world is becoming too anti-social and kids need to learn how to interact with people rather than interact with technology-people. Cool article....
• hendr433 commented on Have You Tried Barefoot Running
  Well this article defiantly brings me back to the days when I was younger and running around the yard, I have always felt lighter on me feet well barefoot running but I think that it has as much to do with running with shoes(added weight) as it does being natural.

• hendr433 commented on Promoting Physical Education
  I think this article is pretty good. personally I loved gym class during my high school days, even now I try to take one PE class that I can enjoy. I would like to point out that perhaps they should introduce more variety in gym classes, I know the stance on school boards is that they must be a learning environment. I however disagree, take out the tests and let the kids just be kids, in my experience half the time I was spent being bored out of my mind by some teacher going on and on about different rules...
