Is education good for your health?
Monthly roundup from Science Journal for Kids and Teens
Welcome to SJK’s September Newsletter.
If you’re looking for a science-based motivator at the start of this new school year, why don’t you try brainstorming some real-life benefits of school with your students?
It’s now scientifically proven that receiving 18 years of school education is as good for your health as:
eating the ideal amount of vegetables or
getting the recommended level of physical activity.
