That's what I don't get, how is "education" more important than being in good physical shape? Being in good physical shape dictates how we do everything else, including learning.

Besides, if you've seen the drivel that they've been "teaching" in public school over the past few years then you kinda start thinking maybe the education isn't that important anyway. Personally, I'd rather you make my kid run laps, skate, hit a baseball or catch a pass for two hours than sitting him there prepping him for yet another standardized test.

THATS what kids are missing!

Completely agree with that.
