Exemplary PE Teachers Wanted! Nancy Pudas and Janelle Schumacher were recognized last year as outstanding physical educators at the annual Disney Teacher Awards. Is there someone you would like to recommend for this year's awards? Who Said This? "If a woman wishes to pilot an airplane, no policeman has a right to stop her...But, when it comes to public sports competitions, women's participation should be absolutely prohibited. ...no matter how toughened a sportswoman may be, her organism is not formed to sustain certain shocks. Her nerves dominate her muscles, this is natures will. Finally the...discipline that is brought to bear on male competitors in order to establish the good order and decorum of a contest is jeopardized by female participation." Exemplary PE Program Ideas from PE Central Internet Research In Physical Education Tom Winiecki describes an activity involving his students in which he sets aside a time to go to his school's library to do some research on the Internet about that unit.
