Gym Class more dangerous?

 You have heard me before talking about gym class, and how different it has become. Going from gym everyday, that was the norm when I was in school to gym once at week at many places today. In fact, less than 1/3rd of schools today have gym every day.

However, in the less time, there are more injuries. As reported here, the number of emergency room trips taken by children from gym class is way up in comparison to the past. The question begs to be asked, why?

I can only give you my thoughts, but I believe that the lack of daily gym is hurting the development of many kids when it comes to coordination and healthy living. Too many kids are out of practice of out of shape and when they play football or other sports, they are more likely to be injured.

??? What do you think??
