I don't like how your thread title lead me to infer your post would have solutions, when really all you did was quote the problems.

Our kids go to a small private classical school that has class from 7:45 to 12pm Monday through Thursday. Making a kid sit in class for 8 hours a day is torture.

Eraser tag was my favorite school event.

I assume he meant making the child finish something they start. Maybe wrong.

Some of these are over the top. Look when I was in HS, I want to say either my sophomore or junior year they stopped allowing people have guns in their trucks. During hunting season, people would go straight to the camp after school so they had their gun in the gun rack.
But I understand why it is better to not allow people to bring guns on campus. First, teenagers are nothing but emotional balls. If they are allowed to bring guns, that are in their vehicles, that increases the change of someone getting mad and going get his/her gun.
Either way, society evolves. Things change, usually because of something that has a negative impact on society..
But with that said, I do think kids should be allowed to fight. Don't make them bottle up whatever they would be fighting about. Let them go at it, more than likely they will be friends again by the end of the day.. Other than cut lips, black eyes and a knot or two on their head, once they finished, it will be squashed and everyone can move forward.

Literally no school does this.
Bell rings at 8. Class starts at 820. They have recess, lunch and PE and/or sports block. Bell rings at 315.
They’re “sitting in class” as you put it maybe 5 hours max a day.

in a literal sense or manner: such as
a : in a way that uses the ordinary or primary meaning of a term or expression He took the remark literally. a word that can be used both literally and figuratively
b —used to emphasize the truth and accuracy of a statement or description The party was attended by literally hundreds of people.
c : with exact equivalence : with the meaning of each individual word given exactly The term "Mardi Gras" literally means "Fat Tuesday" in French.
d : in a completely accurate way a story that is basically true even if not literally true

I got your point- literally.

Ehh let boys be boys.
My mom always said we would rather pick up rocks and sticks than play with dolls.
shite is just ingrained in you.

2. We inhibit children's academic growth (especially among boys), because the lack of physical activity makes it harder for them to concentrate.
3. When they fail to conform quietly to this low-energy paradigm, we over-diagnose or even punish kids for reacting the way they're naturally built to react.
I agree. I did great in school in short spurts, but it felt like prison and I could never make myself conform. Had someone found a way to make it interesting, maybe I could have hung in.
I essentially quit high school after only completing the 9th grade. I didn't have any fear and just quit showing up and finally got expelled at age 17. I took the GED test and did well so that was my out. I travelled and lived life for 6 years and decided I wanted to try college. I took the ACT practice and got a 27 and then a 28 on the real thing. I had to go to Southeastern first because I had no high school transcripts, and started in honors. The classrooms were small and there was a lot of interaction with the professors. It was interesting and I actually enjoyed it. I made the mistake of transferring to LSU because I grew up wanting to go there. I quickly got bored with the giant lecture hall setting where I was just taking notes and prepping for tests. I had good grades but quit again and took the hard road. I don't regret any of it. I've lived outside of the box my whole life and now run my own company and make "doctor money".
Our school system works great for about 5% of people that are high achievers that can sit still and follow the rules. The doctors/lawyers and engineers of the world. 99.9% of the rest are just followers doing what everyone said they were supposed to do. There are only a few of us that hop the barricades and blaze our own trail.

So basically, people need to stop being so delicate with their kids and not assume that just because they are kids you should feed them foods that you would consider "kid food".
This is how we raise our children, except with books instead of food. There are no dumbed down kid books. They learn to read on the classics and develop a love of reading from studying Western civilization's most interesting and entertaining thinkers/writers.

Your reading comprehension sucks. First sentence is “sports is the answer.”
