More Recruits Fail Physical Fitness Test

[erpowers]

Also, I think it is sad that more police and fire recurits are failing physical fitness tests that is not the only reason I wanted to post about this story. While reading the story I was shocked to read that a PE teacher claimed that his students did not "even enjoy being outdoors". My first thought upon reading that statement was how could they not enjoy being outside. I am not that old, but I have always enjoyed being outside at least for a few hours a few days a week. I just do not see how young people, even in the hot South, cold not enjoy being outside. There are so many things to do outside.
