These last few weeks, setting aside the last few years, have been filled with illness at school. Sending home student after student with multiple symptoms that could be Flu, RSV, or COVID.

Calling parents, explaining symptoms, recommendations for care, and asking for medical clearance in some cases, were not all received well.
It has been many months of not visiting my personal blogging habit as a way to delve more comprehensively into a job that can very easily take on an event or activity management role. There has been more than enough lamenting here on our seemingly ‘babysitter’ job for ‘fresh air’ in between the more important business of academic, examinable subjects.
Technology is bound to affect sports in ways we could never imagine. An example happened last week in the NBA. It was the convergence of wireless computer technology, the internet and the social networking service called Twitter. Twitter is a social networking site that allows users to post quick thoughts to the internet. Examples might be, “Dick hates shopping, but he’s going for groceries now anyway.

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.

In the early mornings, my clock radio kicks off the day with “Radio Romania” as part of the Canadian Broadcast Company’s morning programming (depending on how long I stay in bed, I can also hear English broadcasts from South Korea, Australia and Poland). Not long ago, while rubbing the sleep from my eyes and nudging the dog off the bed, I overheard the Romanian announcers discussing the state of physical education and youth fitness in their country.
Twitter has been my go-to social media platform for many years. The doors that have opened for me thanks to relationships built through Twitter have taken me from my health office to the halls of Congress, to co-authored Op-Eds in Time, Newsweek, USA Today, to Current Trauma Reports, Harvard Law, and a lecture hall at University of Pennsylvania Nursing School where I spoke at the Future of Nursing 2020-2030 Town Hall.
The Detroit Pistons "Bad Boys": Disrespected Instead Of Celebrated One of the most challenging things to do in sports is to win a title, let alone winning it back-to-back Here is more of a perspective. Try likening the journey of a team on a path to winning the championship, to climbing and eventually reaching the top of a mountain. It is a long, hard, difficult, challenging, struggle, but well worth it all once the team is crowned as the league’s best.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.

Gallery 3: Correct angles of the muscular system.
