Positive Conference

I was discussing with my colleague about some positive conferences we've had this year. As physical education teachers, it is our goal that our students build a life-long love of learning and physical activity. We were pleased to be visited by a parent that was asking us for exercise ideas for their son so he could exercise more and play on the computer and do sedentary activities less. They acknowledged he would be going to the middle school next year and that he'd need to get stronger and build his confidence. My colleague and I were so refreshed to see parents advocating for their children and recognizing how school changes would impact their son. Hooray for involved parenting!
