What Most Kids Do!

I disagree with all that has been said about what "we need to teach to the students!" I believe that what most kids do is follow what they have been given for examples by parents and our government. What we need to do is teach the parents on how to display the right examples for their children. We can teach kids on how to eat healthy all day long but at the end of the day the people who work 40hrs plus and put food on the table, are the ones who have the say in the end. All we as teachers can do is try and teach our kids the basics of a healthy diet and exercise and hope that they can influence the parents on how to live better. It is not until our Government actually steps up and realizes that by helping our economy and the environment will we help our future, and our future are our students.
