I have come to the conclusion that our country is filled with road rage. The anger and frustration displayed in cars has come out from behind the wheel into the streets, schools, and other public spaces. I began to notice it systemically when COVID reared its ugly head almost three long years ago. Those would be dog years, so more like 21 human years ago.

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.

The best US sports writers ever! Well before TV and radio , if you wanted to take in a game you had to go in person. If that wasn’t a possibility, your only other option was to ask a friend or read about a game in print. So you had to rely on a journalist who is essentially a storyteller to find out what happened. That, after all, is what the best journalists do.

One thing about physical educators is that they realize the value of making lessons fun. They also realize that an active child is a child better able to learn. This often applies for those physical educators who teach academic subjects.
