ü An increase in test scores through practice and training to contain and focus themselves
o An alternative to today?s troublesome video games, television shows, and many other high-tech gadgets; these distractions take away the brain?s focus (meditation movements such as Tree-Standing, Eagle-Flying, and Chi Shower)
o The discovery of one?s own body and how nature relates to it
o Studies into concepts of science and math through the body (the relation of atoms and the solar system circular system, Calculus, Gravity points, Newton?s laws, Photosynthesis, etc)
ü Homedo program?s priority is to build respect for their own body through exercise and meditation and leads respect towards family, teachers, friends, and nature
o Today?s children mostly think of themselves (for example, parents come home and the kids don?t even look up because they?re playing video games/watching television)
o A lack of discipline/respect at home shows in school due to the disrespect to classroom teachers
o Teasing other kids is not allowed; those who may be ahead must help those who fall behind
ü Physical Fitness through Homedo is meant to be fun
o Homedo?s slogan is ?Our body is our home, don?t trash it?; we emphasize the five colors in a meal
o The Homedo campaign has been at Watkins Elementary for the past year and been very successful
o Daily practice is required to maintain shape
ü Share the Love
o Children learn how to make a Chi Ball to heal their parents? headaches and share their techniques to bring the family together; it was very popular for the family
