Cuts cost a gym-less school its physical education teacher, too 2011/07/30 at 9:15 am
It is so sad to hear about the thousands of teachers losing their positions and the students who will no longer benefit from arts and sports programs. Short bursts of physical activity have been proven to make students more attentive in class and therefore, take in more information. If this schools test scores are already low, wait until next year when students arent getting their little bit of exercise. What they really need is more physical activities and less stress. The teachers could probably use 15 minutes of stress relieving kick ball time too. http://education.cu-portland.edu
