Diets and high school

It is sort of funny to sit and listen to what high school students are eating these days. Fast food seems to be a normal part of their daily intake. Walking down the hall ways at the high school I constantly see the students carrying a 44oz. soda in their hand. I know for some that this is the only thing they have had for lunch. I have not been to the cafeteria here at the high school, but I did visit the middle school cafeteria a few times. I was sort of blown away with the different items offered. Pizza, chicken nuggets w/tater tots, taco salad with chips, meatball sandwiches, etc. I learned that the salad bar was basically taken out of the cafeteria because the portions couldn't be controlled. I guess I don't see what is wrong with a student over doing it at the salad bar. Not only are the kids lacking in exercise, but their nutrition basically SUCKS! Come on people!!!!!!

First Experience with Blogging

PE in the middle school level

I was surprised with some of the class sizes in PE. It is almost impossible to do an activity that requires a lot of cardio movement. The lessons were scaled to large group activities that really require a limited amount of physical endurance. Something doesn't seem right about this!!
