We have systematically dismantled all out door activities for our students. So, it is of little use to speculate why we would consider activities important. Some of us speak about disruption and self-discipline problems after a PE class. Heck, most people 30 years ago argued against required PE in school. Parents and teachers litigated recess, lunch breaks that let kids walk home for a hot lunch and extended recess when they returned as too possible for bad things to happen. Note: What bad things? Look at the activity level of young kids today. Maybe physical activity would provide focus if it wasn't an instant of joy in a kenetic learner's dau.
