Bullshit creeping into education

An amusing and vitriolic article from Charlie Brooker about Brain Gym and teaching pseudoscience in schools.  As he and some of the commentors point out doing some exercise and physical movement is good for breaking up lessons, increasing attention and so on, but telling kids it’s because it increases ‘electromagnetic energy’ is just irresponsible.
