They don't play outside nearly enough. Their bookbags have wheels on them. They remove activities from P.E. class when only some students can excel at them. There are kids right now being pushed around in strollers in the mall while they HOLD their feet up so their toesie woesies won't drag. And why does it take so long to build a school. I'm thinking if a trailer is considered a sufficient classroom, then a solid, but temporary building can be thrown together as fast as these strip malls until the full infrastructurally sound school can be completed.

Apparently, there is a law on the books that says that schools can not build for future capacity. They can only build a building that meets current needs. So, our schools - which take anywhere from 3 to 5 years to complete anyways - are starting day 1 with not enough space. Plus, I can't remember the last time I saw a school with *gasp* TWO STORIES or more! Are our kids THAT bad out of shape that they can't handle a flight of stairs....oh wait...
