Thoughts for a new School yea

It seems that the problems with teaching and being a student in this age are similar and possibly more challenging then when I first started teaching art in 1990. Devices are more seductive, shows are more flashy, and students are spending most of their time with their faces in front of a screen. I'll admit that it's easier sometimes letting them just watch mindless TV. But it can't be good for them, or us. GO OUTSIDE!!!! 100 years ago a man named Dr. Luther Halsey Gulick a pioneer in Physical Education thought kids were not getting enough exercise and becoming soft. I wonder what he would think of kids today. 

We are made to be outdoors, we are designed to move around, and we are capable of thinking and solving problems while moving around. Isn't this why we like playing sports? One of my goal this year is to add more physical activities to my classroom for students and advisory. As well as more physical activities on the weekends for me and my own kids...Sooo surfs up for 2015/2016!!!!!
