[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My question is why is there only Girls on the Run and no Boys on the Run or Kids on the Run? Now our schools has a class for Girls interested in math and science careers. Why this specific focus on girls? All the studies I read say that boys have the most health issues growing up and fall the most behind in schools, but the only segregated programs I see cater to girls instead. Not that it is a bad program, but I don't see the need for all this segregation or at least would like to see a balance. Where are the classes or opportunities to help boys get interested in teaching, learn to cook, learning drawing, dancing, etc.? [/quote] There are running programs developed for boys. If your school isn't offering one, ask why or volunteer. Girls on the Run exists because someone wanted to do the work. If you want a boys' program, do the work. Here's a list to get you started: http://www.kidsrunning.com/kraskprogram.html[/quote]
