Focusing on the Child Bully – What Can We Do To Help THIS Child?

- by Harry Simson

We have focused a whole lot on bullying here lately and then for the great reason we now have poured lots of attention around the child who’s been bullied, but I want us to spend time dealing with the child who the bullying. We must keep in mind that this is still a youngster that needs assistance.

I know that no-one enjoys managing a child bully, and it’s really hard to love such an unlikeable individual who exhibits negative, pesky behaviors towards others. Children try to avoid him/her and teachers/administrators aren’t so pleasant toward this child either, but we should have compassion because of this child too.

Believe it or not, children do not come into this world as bullies. Many of them have learned this behavior. Have you ever stopped for just a moment to take into account this? Much of what these children are becoming has been based …

All Hell Is Breaking Loose in Our School Systems in Georgia!

- by Harry Simson

With class sizes increasing and teachers and also other support staff being released, what will occur to our little ones? Students were already suffering, particularly those with special needs. It has been a struggle every year to have the services and support the kids need from teachers b/c these are already overwhelmed. My son’s middle school went from having 3 counselors (one for each grade level) to 2 counselors, and next school year (2010-2011) they’ll only have 1 counselor.

theam even getting times when school systems are trying to dismiss students with disabilities such as Autism from being eligible for special education services. This is outrageous! If we think advocating for our children is hard now, just hold back until next school year. I believe Advocates are going to have their hands full.

Why Is Physical Education Class Only Directed Towards the Small Percentage of Athletes?

- by Harry Simson

In traditional sports and physical education classes, educators are only teaching how to stay physically active through basic sports, which can be just the thing for the athletes, but why don’t you consider students who do not become professional athletes? The NCAA posted data on the possibility of an increased school athlete playing attending college and ultimately going pro. Comparing men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, men’s soccer, football, and men’s ice hockey, the data shows that the easiest sport to turn pro in is baseball. For baseball, approximately 0.44% or 1 out of every 225 high school graduation participants reach the professional ranks. Since that number is so low, how come physical educators continuing to instruct these sports? There is a small future because of these sports along the obesity academic is increasing at a fast pace.

Elementary physics. ed . should be focused on learning the fundamental fundamentals of …

Ways To Be a Better Physical Education Teacher

- by Harry Simson

There is an issue whenever a great lesson falls apart because of the performance of your teacher. This article is here to deliver tips to help Physical Education teachers enhance their necessary skills. Many skills will probably be covered including, voice, speaking, motivation, and creativity. These four are a few items that teachers may use as a checklist to make a certain performance at their full potential.

Let’s commence with voice. Physical Education is usually taught outside or perhaps in a gymnasium, which suggests an instructor needs the proper voice with this environment. The students won’t hear you should you be too quiet, but you wouldn’t like to scream. Being quiet makes an instructor look weaker and it sends out a look of devoid of the authority. A teacher who screams creates a place not enjoyable for your class. The balance of the two can be a powerful voice. One …

Life After High School

- by Harry Simson

When we enter our teen years, we often begin to ponder what we will do when we graduate from high school. Unfortunately, many of us lack direction at that time and we might not know what we want to do when the big day approaches. In reality, however, there are very few choices that need to be made and as long as you can make one big decision, that’s generally enough to help get you started in life. You can then begin to shape your life around that decision and even change the way you live your life as it continues.
