Drowning in the Shallow

Throughout my career there has often been debate whether physical education is a practical subject, an academic subject or a combination of both. Ofsted’s current position is that it should we should focus on both declarative knowledge and procedural knowledge, specifically 1) motor competence 2) rules, strategies and tactics and 3) healthy participation.

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.

We cannot underestimate the impact of the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” movement that is sweeping across the country. On the surface, it seems innocent enough. Parents and school nurses need to be strong partners for students’ health and well-being. But when legislation passes that includes cherry-picking which “services” school nurses can provide, it becomes a quagmire fraught with barriers to care.

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.

There is a concerning trend happening in state houses across the country fundamentally impacting how school health services are delivered by licensed school nurses.

Emerging research suggests that certain minerals may help support antioxidative stress, balanced thyroid hormone levels, and a healthy immune response.
