Support:
Lloyd Kolbe notes how schools and health systems have changed. Dr Kolbe believes that good health, cognitive and literacy skills are the key to academic achievement.
Audience and Agenda:
The intended audience is educators, but particularly those that can make changes. It calls for change, inculding providing more health care to children instead of many of the mandates in the No Child Left Behind act, so it is intended to those that can make the change. The journal is a highly rated professional journal.
Usefulness:
This was a useful article, though not in the way I had envisioned. It provided a good alternative method to the No Child Left Behind act, and the charts and graphs that were included did a lot to aid the presentation. It essentially says that healthy children do better on standardized tests, and that the goal should be to promote health in children. Then higher grades on tests will follow.
