Relentless School Nurse

Today is our last day of school before winter break. I was digging through past posts and found this one from almost a year ago as 2022 was in its early days. The Relentless School Nurse: Rebooting After Winter Break. I will follow my own advice and use this break for a much-needed reboot. I hope the readers of this blog find peace, rest, and reframing for what lies ahead in 2023.

Here’s an excellent example of politicians not understanding the benefits of physical education – cutting physical education as a way to reduce costs, but penalizing the taxpayer millions of dollars as a consequence. The Ohio legislature, which currently requires only one-half of a PE unit for high school, has further softened this requirement by allowing school districts to waive the PE requirement for students who participate in two years of varsity sport, cheerleading…or band!

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.

Now, this blog post may shock you a little bit, which is why I thought it might be a nice post to release just before the winter break. I am going to detail below a genuine risk I took in one of my A-level PE lessons in 2013 and a risk that I have repeated ever since. My aim is not to encourage you to take the same risk. In fact, I hope you don’t. But I do want to provoke you to consider what the importance of risks is and how risks may inform and improve our teaching.

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.

When we think of a traditional American dinner plate, we imagine the food separated and compartmentalized into its own area. Meat in one section, a starch in one, and a vegetable in another. Nothing is allowed to touch. There are lots of plates designed for young children that literally have different sections for their food to prevent mixing. However, children worldwide eat meals with everything mixed together and don't think twice about it.
