For many students, physical education is critical to becoming active and developing healthy routines. But how is this possible anymore with the repercussions of the pandemic? Years of COVID-19, social distancing, and virtual learning have all had a profound effect on students, which means educators need to adjust their classes accordingly. The good news is that P.E. can still play a vital role in helping students intellectually, emotionally, physically, and socially.

In the context of school nursing, moral injury occurs when nurses are confronted with situations or decisions that challenge their deeply held moral or ethical beliefs. This is the story of a dedicated group of school nurses in Texas who took a public stance against a woefully misguided school administration that chose dollars over public health. How many school nurses have found themselves in similar circumstances when vaccination compliance is ignored for the sake of the budget?

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

Isaac Diaz, age 18, was tired of epilepsy and cerebral palsy ruling his life. The thoughtful, gentle, yet self-determined teen simply wanted to do what teens do—be independent, get a job, play sports, and, most important, learn how to drive. “I just wanted to do things without having to worry that a seizure was going to ruin it,” says Isaac. When his seizures started coming more frequently out of nowhere at age 15—first every six weeks, then four weeks, then weekly—he took the initiative to rese

We are all aware of the need for recess. Not only for our students to receive movement breaks to work their large body muscles, but also for opportunities for students to build and create friendships by communicating with each other freely, and have unstructured play time with their peers. Recess is also an opportunity for classroom teachers to be more productive in their teaching when they have students who are calm after movement.

Why comparing eras in Sport will always end the same way Since the beginning of more or less everything, humans have been obsessed with comparing things. Films are always stacked up against greats of their genre and music is often held to the standard of one’s classic favourite - not as good as the Stones or Marvin Gaye? Not interested. Sport is no different but recently this has seen a reversal of fortunes for our modern stars’ plucky forebears.

Epilepsy, a common neurological disorder, can be a devastating disease for children, not only physically but emotionally. Children and their families often don’t know when seizures will occur and how often they will recur. That can lead to a lot of additional stress and anxiety at school. Some families may feel helpless. Over the last 10 years, many improvements have been made—whether they are drug therapies, neuromodulators, or surgery.

You’ve probably heard this before, but it’s worth repeating: Nowadays, everything seems to turn into a political debate. I recently came across an article in the California Globe news website discussing a new law that mandates 30 minutes of daily recess for K-8 students. Interestingly, the focus of the article wasn’t so much on teachers opposing recess but rather on the requirement itself.

Luckily, I have children who can recall days in their elementary or middle school gym filled with fun games or challenges. There were the usual activities like kickball or dodgeball, even some made-up games courtesy of the P.E. teachers.
