By high school only a third take gym class daily, according to the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. And it's not like most kids are making up for lost gym classes by working out on their own time. More than 60 percent of children aged 9 to 13 do not participate in any organized physical activity during their non-school hours and 23 percent do not engage in any free-time physical activity at all (Huberty, 2012). The phasing out of physical education comes at a time when doctors are warning educators and parents about the dangers of child obesity and other health issues. Meanwhile, researchers are beginning to provide the relationship between fitness and excelling in school.
for all grade levels but no regulations are set on time requirements. The problem is that only 3.8% of elementary schools (excluding kindergarten), 7.9% of middle schools, and 2.1% of high schools provide daily physical education or its equivalent for all grades in the school for the entire school year (Lee, Burgeson, Fulton & Spain, 2006). Since children spend most of the day at school I propose that physical education should be a daily part of the school curriculum. Studies have shown that daily P.E. is not only beneficial to overall health, but mentally, emotionally and socially as well.

If I felt like I was falling behind on my goal I would walk around aimlessly in my apartment or find reasons to go outside and walk until I reached a step count that I felt more comfortable ending my day at. The first week I had started doing the pedometer assignment I still had not been cleared from my knee injury by my doctor to participate in exercise activities so I did not meet the guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. I could have been stretching and at least doing resistance training on my upper body but I did not doing any of that either my first week so I also did not meet the guidelines of two to three days of resistance training or stretching 3 plus days per week. At the start of my second week I was finally cleared to start engaging in some physical activity. I met the guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity and the 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity by participating in cardio 5 days of that week and did a total of 250 minutes of combined vigorous and moderate activity.
The gym Have you ever thought about running away? Running away to a place where it is just you and your thoughts. I have many of times.

(3) I will eat fruits or vegetables instead of cookies and sweets for snacks. 3 Gauge your progress toward your goal every week.

Ebenezer Collier The Psychology and Education of the Exceptional Child Article Review Weingarten, R. (2012). Extended Learning Time offers Promise in Raising Achievement. American Teacher This article reflects the reaction of the President of the American Federation of Teachers, Mr. Randi Weingarten on the report of a study on how schools are using extended learning time to improve student achievement. Through interviews and site visits on 30 academically high-performing schools that serve a large percentage of low-income students, with longer school days and years, the study, “Time Well Spent”, documents and analyzes how schools allocate their time, and, more significantly, the specific practices which ensure that expanded school time is used productively and well. In this report, the study identifies the following eight practices that are “proving successful” especially in schools that serve disadvantaged children: (1) Make every minute count; (2) Prioritize time according to focused learning goals; (3) Individualize learning time and instruction based on student needs; (4) Build a school culture of expectations and mutual accountability; (5) Provide a well-rounded education; (6) Prepare students for college and career; (7) Continually strengthen instruction; and (8) Relentlessly assess, analyze and respond to student data.
