They are sugared out of their heads before they get to school, climbing on the the bus with sweets and fizzy drinks a gogo, as if breakfast at home was not an option.<BR/><BR/>In the good old days when education made sense, you did the work requiring concentration in the morning, and then after lunch, physical activity and art/handwork/manual activity. <BR/><BR/>Bottom line is that kids will do whatever their parents let them get away with; for a large chunk of the population this is now life in front of a screen with packaged "food" for sustenance. <BR/><BR/>And here we are today...Elby the Beserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060519682739666145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-63560528881200036802009-01-21T14:18:00.000+00:002009-01-21T14:18:00.000+00:00In the US, I believe that much of the problem, apa...In the US, I believe that much of the problem, apart from crap food, is that many of the young boys don't exercise. If they walked to school, or ran for 30 minutes a day, a lot of the fussing would probably go away.Paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07952088638231881617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-89901084375099375012009-01-21T13:02:00.000+00:002009-01-21T13:02:00.000+00:00Things have changed.

And the schools brought in chocolate bar/crisp vending machines. There was a lot of fuss and that's all gone, and kids are given access to fruit, milk and water at break. I think a lot of their behaviour relates to fractured relationships at home, plus TV and computer games, plus gang culture and music. And adults just don't take enough interest.Sackersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410040031410954403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5524682876220396502.post-20679389771626538532009-01-21T08:18:00.000+00:002009-01-21T08:18:00.000+00:00You're in education, Sackers - what's your view on...You're in education, Sackers - what's your view on the theory that schoolkids eating rubbish 'food' at lunchtime makes them hyper all afternoon, and wipes out half the school day accordingly ? <BR/><BR/>(as well as making life on the buses hell for everyone else at chucking-out time)Nick Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13670594203660051701noreply@blogger.com
