Benefits of Weight Training For Kids - NY Times

It's too bad that the Physical Education departments of most schools are lacking knowledge in this field. Luckily I had the fortune of having some great teachers (Mr. Griffith, Mr. Eathorne, Mr. & Mrs. Freeman, Mr. Vaughn) who not only had passion, but the know-how in getting their students moving.
