A MODEST PROPOSAL

With apologies to Jonathan Swift:

Given the concerns about obesity in children - and the high cost of gasoline, I have a suggestion to deal with both. We need to redesign our buses so there are pedals for each rider - the students can provide much of the power to move the bus and reduce our reliance on gasoline while getting good exercise.

To take this one step further - we should design exercise rooms at the high schools so that bikes and treadmills also replace other energy sources.
