The Kids Will Be All Right
Most, if not all, of the hubbub around the new state standards will stem from the changes in the Health/Physical Education curricula.
​
Administrators and teachers may be filled with anxiety about the topics that are included in the curricula at younger ages, but everyone's mantra should become the words "age-appropriate." We can trust the teachers to know how to handle the topics listed in the curricula and parents should gather some comfort from their expertise, training, and preparation.
