[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:58 again. This is going to drive some of you nuts, if I'm right about who's posting here. But the latest research on adults and brain function shows that doing puzzles and brain teasers doesn't help, but exercise does improve brain function. Yes, you sports haters out there, exercise.

By all means buy your kid the vocabulary cards, because the SAT tests for vocabulary. But if you want to help your kid become a faster, more focussed thinker, you might want to let him leave his desk for some exercise.[/quote]

Probably has the same small impact "test preparation" does...  I see little correlation between professional athletes and great thinkers...[/quote]

Who said anything about professional athletes? Not me. There's a wide range of athletic engagement, however, between the professional athlete and the kid whose mom chains him to his desk, obviously.

Here, read this: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/12/121206131830.htm. If the link doesn't work, it's the article from 12/6/2012 entitled, "Fit Kids Finish First in the Classroom." Don'tmiss the part where it talks about how "middle school students in the best physical shape out score their classmates on standardized tests and take home better report cards."

When you're done, sure to check out the links to many corollary articles on the right of the page.[/quote]
