so who can answer this simple question
why are ussa kids such under achievers?
i was on a video conf call yesterday with my son and 2 of my grand kids. and they were telling me that they got the presidential physical award at there school. that was both of them. one is K grade and the other i think in 2nd
i would not consider either of them an special jock etc, but my son told me that there are 600 people at there school that competed and about 20 performed high enough to win the award, and so he has two kids in the same house that got it
wtf is going on. if they did the same thing in any chineese or russian school 97% would prob get it vs only 3% there
is it the food, water air or parenting or lack there of?
... in general i would say it's because of fast food , video games , and lack of parenting.
In this specific case i'm guessing that your grand kids go to an affluent school with a bunch of over priviledged out of shape spoiled kids.
You should take the credit for their atheletic prowess , maybe it's in the genes ... lol
btw , back in the early 70's i won a presidential fitness award and at that time they said it was going to about 12% nationaly so things are going down hill .... fast food and lazyness.
One more thing and then i'll get to work , it used to be that if a child misbehaved they got a spanking , nowadays they get ritalin or other drugs.
I'm sure there are cases especially with adds and autism where drugs are benefiicial but in about 90% of the cases it's just an easy way out for the doctors and the parents ... but nowdays you cant whip your children , hence no discipline.
