Gym Class Thoughts

 One of my sons has gym today and it made me think of something, why do the kids have so little gym class any more? Is there a correlation between this and the rise in Obesity?

When I was in school, I will try not to make it sound like that was in the stone age or something, we had gym class each and every day. In many schools today, they are lucky to have it once a week. I know there are a lot of valid reasons for this, time for academic study, etc. However, I do not think this is something we can just toss out as a given. I believe we as parents have to start looking to support more time for gym, for the health of our children.
