They're mostly young, they're always energetic, and they answer to honorifics: Mr. Chips, Miss Brodie, Miss Moffat, Mister Miyagi, or just plain "Sir" (with love, of course).

[http://education.utsa.edu/images/uploads/book.jpg] Full Story<http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/releases/286430.php>
(MEDICAL NEWS TODAY) - Over the past thirty years, physical activity among children has declined markedly. The public health implications of this decline include a growing prevalence of obesity and chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. A new issue of Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development expands the focus to ask whether physical activity is also related to children's brain and cognitive development and achievement in school. Scholarly articles published by over 20 researchers in Monographs, titled "The Relation of Childhood Physical Activity to Brain Health, Cognition and Scholastic Achievement" indicate that while physical activity in schools has diminished in part because of a growing emphasis on student performance and academic testing, decreased physical activity is actually related to decreased academic performance.

World AIDS day is not only a time to reflect on the disease and those we have lost to it, but is also an opportunity to look forward to the end of the HIV epidemic through new preventive measures and hopefully, one day, a cure. Approximately 35 million people are currently living with HIV worldwide, with over two million individuals becoming infected each year.

(TPR NEWS) - A middle school in the South San Antonio Independent School District will have to hire a completely new team of teachers, after it failed to meet state standards for more than two years. South San’s Dwight Middle School has had an ‘Improvement Required’ rating from the Texas Education Agency for two years and now has to go through a formal reconstitution process. While that term means something different for each school, South San District Communications Director, Ed Suarez, said for Dwight that meant that all 33 teachers, the Principal, and the Vice Principal, would be let go.
