Education: Letter - The fat's really in the fire

Our article last week on obesity among children, and the associated lack of physical exercise, provoked a wide response, as did the pieces on the future of lecturers, and the issue of benchmarking subjects

I READ your article "Survival of the fattest" (Education, 14 January), and I agree that I ate lots of chocolate Santas over Christmas. But I do not agree that "girls especially hate team games. Many prefer individual activities such as aerobics". I and other girls in school love team games. None of my friends do aerobics, they prefer swimming.
