[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an email we received from DCPS, Kaya Henderson spent considerable time talking about some new curriculum initiative. The only concrete example she pointed to was that the curriculum would include teaching second graders to ride bikes. Really? This is for school time? No wonder DCPS scores so low. This is not a "curriculum." This is what kids have done for ages on their own time at home. [/quote] It's PE. Cycling is as useful a subject for PE as lots of other sports. PE is good for kids. Fit kids have higher IQs and get better test scores. Kids who have PE are better able to concentrate when they are in the classroom. It's a great idea. [/quote]
