Volleyball! Softball! Baseball! Basketball! All of the balls! Join Katie and Chelsea as they discuss the history of modern sports programs in public schools in America. From the late 1800s on, high school rivalries and intercollegiate competitions have motivated students to get and stay fit, but they've also applied an increasing amount of pressure on student athletes. Funding sports programs is another big concern, particularly when athletics often compete with academic programs for limited dollars. Hear Katie's perspective as a former coach and Chelsea's view as a less-than-stellar athlete in this episode of 16:1. Thanks, listeners!

Bully for You!

Bullying has always been around, but social media has created new ways for students to bully and to be bullied. Join Katie and Chelsea as they take a look at how social media continues to evolve the way that parents, administrators, and peers engage with bullying in schools. In the attention economy, digital literacy and good digital citizenship aren't just good ideas-- they are important tools for managing mental health.
