MUSIC IS MAGIC

Twenty-five-year-old Rick Aggeler says he discovered early in life that music is magic.

He says: "Music made me feel like anything was possible."

At the age of seven, a medical condition required him to have a brain operation.

It also prevented him from playing sports.

So his mother suggested that he learn to play drums instead.

He says: "I started playing drums with Ronit Glick.

She was my elementary teacher.

I remember just the joy it brought to me.

It was my favorite thing.

Sixth grade was a new school and I had a hard time getting along with all the kids.

And Ms. Glick just took me in and I had so much fun at the program.

It just felt great all the time.

"Rick Aggeler graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, in 2007.

Kids prosper best

Kids prosper best with a broad curriculum that celebrates their various talents, not just a small range of them. 

And by the way, the arts aren't just important because they improve math scores. 

They're important

because they speak to parts of children's being which are otherwise untouched.

A REAL EDUCATION

A real education has to give equal weight to the arts, the humanities, to physical education.

SCHOOLS- KIDS

What schools are encouraged to do is to find out what kids can do across a very narrow spectrum of achievement.

NEARSIGHTEDNESS

Researchers writing in the May issue of Ophthalmology say kids who get a little outdoor recess time at school have a reduced risk of developing nearsightedness.

This study  found when children are required to spend more time outdoors, their risk of nearsightedness is reduced.

Results from the study showed fewer children became nearsighted or shifted toward nearsightedness in the school that required outdoor recess,

compared with the control school.
