AM: 2 miles around the Alta track.
PM: 4 miles around the neighborhood.
There was a physical "education" class out there listlessly walking around the track while their obese physical education "teacher" stared at his phone in the bleachers. I thought about how strange it would be to teach a subject when every aspect of your appearence and demeanor screams "I don't value what I'm teaching'.
It reminded me of how important it is for us teachers to be geeks about our subjects and how important it is for students to sense your enthusiasm for your subject in class. If you teach history, students need to see books in your classroom and know that you read them. You need to constantly share what you're learning in your study of the subject. If you teach PE you need to be running with your kids!
