Students Are Bored

Monday, 19 March 2012 00:00 Children's Health

A former student of mine, now a police officer and one of my volunteer assistant basketball coaches, disappeared a few seasons ago for several months. When he resurfaced, he told me he had been assigned suddenly by narcotics to go undercover as a student in a local high school (he is 24 but looks like a muscular 16 year old). He told me he'd set up a few arrests and I couldn't help but ask him how he had done academically in his classes. To that he gave me a long hard stare. He said, "It was worse than the first time I was in high school. Worse than your class," he said. The boredom, he told me, was torturous.

Tuesday, 28 February 2012 00:00 Men's Health

(BlackDoctor.org) -- It's hard to escape gender labeling in our society. Dolls and the color pink are associated with girls, while guys are assigned GI Joes and the “manly” color blue. And the trend doesn’t stop at childhood, either. It trickles down to matters of health as well. But in reality, men can face the same challenges when they develop a disease more common in women.
