Dear David:

You know the expression "a healthy mind leads II a healthy body." I can't emphasize this enough. Students of all ages needa healthy dose of academia & mental stimuli yes. But they should also rest their minds & participate in physical activity, whether it be play or sport. This activity is also healthy IV the neurotransmitters in their head.

Regards,

Rory

And of course it's been said that, "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton."
