Once Again, Texas, um, . . Forget I Mentioned It

Texas students, especially teens, are out of shape | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "Less than one-third of Texas third-graders passed all six parts of a new physical fitness assessment that debuted statewide this year and older students fared much worse, according to results released today.
About 21 percent of female seventh-graders and 17 percent of male seventh-graders reached healthy standards in all six zones. By the senior year of high school, just 8 percent of females and 9 percent of males reached those targets."
