...DOES IT MATTER? Many school districts are slashing PE to meet budgets; math and reading are what count on standardized tests--and in assessing schools' performance under No Child Left Behind. As a result, most kids have gym class only once or twice a week. That lack of physical exercise could be adversely affecting girls' academic development...

...didn’t take long for me to learn how to ride my new pink two-wheeler, but it was many months before I liked Jenny enough to help her with her math homework again. Vinny moved away right before high school, so he never got to see me get my learner’s permit the day I turned sixteen. Determined not to get left behind again, I passed my driver’s test within five months...
