We teach at the Ancona School, a small, progressive elementary school in the Hyde Park area of Chicago’s South Side. Each year, our school’s Gone Fishin’ trip combines physical education with outdoor recreation. However, while fishing provides a pretext for this annual outing, the real goal is to give students an immersive opportunity for exploration and skill development in a natural setting.

In December 2021, I unknowingly wrote my most popular blog post ever. It was “Can A-level PE Lead to a Degree in Medicine?” and the post has received tens of thousands of reads. The post was based on the experiences of my elder daughter who, in summer 2021, was a student about to embark on a potential A-level path that might lead to a degree in medicine.

The blog post is in support of nurse DonQuenick Joppy, whose career and personal life have been upended by an injustice that could happen to any nurse, but especially, to nurses of color. In this era of restorative justice, calling out racism in nursing is not exempt. It is a hard truth, that the history of nursing is filled with injustices to nurses of color.

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.

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.

As a running coach, I see all sorts of technical errors in my runners. Especially from those who have patterned themselves after television or running magazines and THINK they are emulating those models. In fact, what an athlete thinks they are doing often doesn’t match reality. In this video, called “Don’t Be That Awkward Runner,” you’ll see some over-exaggerated, humorous examples.

I am very fortunate to have known her in my life. Although I didn’t meet her until I was 10, she had a big impact on my life. My parents divorced when I was 10. While I am now a calm person, as a child, I was so angry.

Why school nurses leave their positions has been on my mind a lot lately. I noticed a significant uptick of conversations on Facebook about nurses who were resigning. Some negotiated an earlier “release” date to preserve their own mental health. The support for these school nurses who are leaving our ranks is plentiful and filled with sentiments like, “I might coming right behind you.” One school nurse I contacted explained her difficult decision to leave her school dist

The Best Left-Handed Tennis Players Ever Facing a left-hander at the elite level of tennis is a hell of a challenge, ripping up game plans and forcing the receiver to use their potentially weaker backhand. The southpaw tends to rely on a swinging serve and a bunch of cross-court forehands played with height and topspin. It can take the opponent out of their comfort zone, plus they get to serve out wide to the righty backhand on 3 out of 4 game points.
