Get down with DDR...in school

West Virginia decided that to battle its ranking as the state with the most obese children, it will implement Dance Dance Revolution in all public schools.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - West Virginia, which has the worst childhood obesity problem in the United States, is stepping up plans to use Konami Corp.'s "Dance Dance Revolution" to battle the bulge in its schools.

The state, which plans to put the popular dancing video game in every one of its public schools, said on Wednesday research suggested that it helped put a halt to weight gain.

Murphy West Virginia plans to develop after-school clubs for playing the game.

"It's going to allow kids to be active in an after-school activity that's not sports," she said.
I'm speechless.

My kids only get one day of PhyEd per week, so they spend 1/2 hour a day on DDR. They love it and it's a blast watching my 15-year-old do it like a pro!

I'm not saying I agree with getting rid of kickball and all the other outdoor things, but get 'em moving! Whatever you need to do!!
