UK to get a Brain Gym

Naturally the Brain Gym is an American invention which will soon be coming to these shores. As the invasion takes hold we will be hearing much more about this idea which is supposed to as it says exercise the brain in order for the student to be able to get smart or in some cases smarter.

But you would have thought that exercising the brain would involve a series of mental exercises like what you would do before taking an IQ test, but no. this is more like physical exercise, where the students carry out a series of facial exercises which are supposed to switch the brain on, but in the mean time they look as if they have something wrong with them.

This system is not really accredited with any educational awards, such is the way that these systems appear, and there are many other clubs which appear to claim the same. But at the end of the day these things are paid for by parents who try to make their children into something that they want them to be.
