What is wrong with using Cheerios to do grouping pictures for multiplication? They are fat free. Also, in a low income district like mine, it may be the only food kids eat before their free lunch that is high in fat and
sugar.
I think the obesity problem is not based in school, but why not blame us for this social problem, too? I think the fast food marketing on t.v. needs to stop, and the kids need limits on how much time they play video games, work on the computer, and watch t.v.
Plus, I love doing fractions with a tray of brownies. Seriously, is the one and one-half inch square of brownie one
time during the year really propelling a student into obesity? Now, if the students would cease bringing in Krispy Kremes for their birthday treats, that might do the trick.
Also, how many schools have gym five days a week? We do this year, and I think we need it.
