You know the answer to that! Nope, they have chosen not to teach kids all the things they'd teach if the goals were helping kids get some exercise, learn how to do so safely and learn about some activities they might enjoy. We need to have a nation-wide reckoning here. Do we want our kids to be healthy? Do we want the adults they grow into to be healthy? We need to actually teach people this -- if this is indeed our goal. Personally, I learned on my own that biking is my best bet for staying active. Some years I bike a lot. Last summer and this summer I have not biked much, mostly because of grief. I hope to do better next summer.
