You're absolutely correct in saying that parents need to teach their children to "get off their butts." But the policy makers who are insisting on more standardized testing in the schools, which in turn results in more seatwork and the elimination of physical education and even recess, MUST get wise to the importance of physical activity. Not just for the body but for the brain! Eliminating PE and recess from the schools is contrary to what all the science says.
