    It amazes me that we need a study for this.

    I don't know if you are lying or just incapable of understanding your own link, It is mainly about a lack of physical activity.

    Please note the article states pretty conclusively that a lack of physical activity harms boys far more than girls. It does not state why this is so. But it is what it is.

    Yes, and how it harms the academic ability of boys more than it does girls.

    You dont need science to tell you there is a difference between males and females.


    No more than you need science to tell you that gravity will kill you if you try to fly off of a sky scraper.


    If you need science for other similar things a shrink and perhaps medicine is there to help you and hopefully cure you.

    The point of the article isn't to detect that boys and and girls aren't the same.

    The article actually points to one specific difference that can be acted on to the benefit of some percent of boys in education. It could be a benefit to girls, too, by the way.

    There could be other studies that show various other differences or similarities that might be beneficial to know about.

    The article was about similarities instead of differences?

    The article was about the benefits of mixing physical activity with education, and how the effect is more likely to be noticeable in boys.

    The article notes that boys are several times more likely to be diagnosed or should I say Misdiagnosed as suffering from adhd. And that this can have really bad consequences Down the road and not just for the boys so Misdiagnosed.

    Wow, and I thought you were an engineer not a farmer. Maybe farmer would suit you more, cohabiting with pigs.....
    No one should be silent, unless you want to stifle free speech...this is a discussion forum...everyone should be heard, even pig farmers.

    It begs the question- which is the greater risk, statistically speaking? That children will get harmed playing unsupervised, or that they'll be harmed by oversupervision leading to a failure to thrive (develope properly)?

    The problem is that its easier to quantify the harm that results from abduction, injury or mischief that can result from playing outside away from home, and far harder to quantify the harm resulting from being confined and sheltered in the safety of constant supervision. Though hopefully theproliferation of studies like this will increase awareness.

    Federal Report Says Schools Fail to Protect Students From Sexual Abuse by Personnel

    “The physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests.” U.S. Department of Education report, 2002

    Are you using this as a justification for attacking education?

    I hope not. Educating every last person living here is critical to our success as a nation.

    If our system needs improvement, then we should be working toward that.

    As for the OP, the study makes it clear that physical activity is an important element. Too many of our schools have little or no opportunity for physical activity, as they simpy don't have the facilities.

    Wherever you find kids you'll find abusers.
