Physical Education gets picked last in schools

It's too bad that it has taken me so long to realize that I should have stayed fit after retireing from the Army, instead of trying to catch up now. This article really says a lot about the lack of effort by our educators in schools today. I really hope by the time my Grand-daughter gets into the public school system, there are some serious changes and Physical Education is a higher priority.

Physical education experts say there’s little accountability for P.E. teachers in most schools. They say the classes are often poorly run, and students don’t spend much time in them anyway – even as American children grow fatter and more out of shape.

Nearly one-fifth of all high school P.E. teachers don’t have a major and certification in physical education, according to the most recent numbers from the National Center for Education Statistics.

Nothing to report today

Nothing to report today. Yesterday's workout kicked butt, and I'm feeling it today. Light walking, light lifting. Nothing worth logging for points. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

30,000 FitPoints -- On to 50,000

Reached the Yellow level, now on to Red.

As one reaches these color goals, more points are required to get to the next one. White and Yellow are 15,000 each, Red is 20,000. I have a brief description of the FitLinx here.

Guess I'd better start working out.
