That's just something to slow them down. It doesn't take intelligence to play games. As a former pro athlete and coach, I might disagree with you that it does not take intelligence to play games.  In fact, there is a quite a bit of research out there in the education field that talks about athletic or "Bodily-kinesthetic" intelligence.    However... I agree with you 100% that we need to be providing a whole range of opportunities for our kids.  I recently had a very productive meeting with the director of the Boys and Girls Club and we discussed creating three advisory boards for their organization to improve and expand their level of services - facilities board, recreation board, early childhood education board.  Would you be willing to serve on one of these to help us deal with the issues you raised in your email?   Peace, JWK YAHOO!
