There are some who might even be offended by that statement. A lot more than just 'book' learning is needed.

Children are no longer as active as they used to be.
The further development of television, video and computer games have added to the current lack of physical fitness of our youth today. The problem is not just with our youth.

Spectators can participate in Xtreme Sports, Baseball, La Crosse, Kayaking, Billiards, Shooting, Tennis and many, many more. The only exercise received is pushing buttons, or getting up to find the remote.
