I have no problem playing computer games but when you give a kid a game to lose weight! Fricken fatasses join the army and then you will lose some weight.......and if thats to drastic for you go for a dam run.

What exactly is wrong with this plan? Probably doesn't cost any more than weight machines, it's good exercise, and we all know fat kids love video games.

We played DDR in weight training sophomore year.

Well thats a stupid reason not to implement a more effective and cost efficient weight loss program in a area that is in desperate need of it..

That never works, fat kids eat most of their fat kid food outside of school. I say let them eat whatever the hell they want, then let them work it off later.

Plus, many schools rely on vending machine and cafeteria profits. If they dont serve good tasting food, kids wont buy it, simple as that.

I'd rather be fat than play DDR.

I'm dead serious.

So they schools that rely on vending machines to supply fat kids with fatty food and in turn that money goes to DDR exercise classes?

How about we take all the machines out and only serve real food and cut back on DDR and put that money into something like a REAL exercise program. Like maybe running, swiming or you could even play dogeball; i mean you do run around a lot in that game.

Better concept:

Get rid of the vending machines, replace DDR machines with "football and field." Then you take that money you saved and get the kids better at math and reading instead of Sex Ed, Multicultural Studies, etc. You kill about sixteen birds with one stone.

football....dogeball it was all the same to me...

But whats wrong with Sex ed? we need more STD's in this world?

No Multictural studies? So we should just forget about the anti cutrual things that we have done in the past (and curently doing) and not learn from them?

I think the only thing i agree with is football and feild..

In one of Michael Savage's books he cites cases of "Sex Ed Games" where students at about 5th grades were encouraged to play a game with cucumbers and condoms. I'm all for teaching about STDs-- It's just that people are going way tooo far with some of the stuff they are teaching, and expending considerable amounts of funding on it.

I'm also not really a fan of forced multiculturalism. Like, if you look through the English curriculuums in place now, you'll find a lot of work that has no real merit other than simply being written by a different culture. But whatever, let's stick to the OP. DDR sucks. Get thin with football.
