Teens often think middle age people are unable to perform physical activities as well as them but they’re wrong. “ It’s a testament to how adaptable the human body is, researchers said, that people can start serious training at an older age and become highly competitive,” according to the New York Times.
Teachers in Jamaica High Scholl prove this point true by staying healthy which keeps them highly motivated for their age. Most teachers in Jamaica High School persuade their students to do the same because many students in Jamaica are unhealthy.
Mr. Feeney, math teacher, said “I go ice skating, I walk for an hour, roller skate with my kids and play tennis. I don’t run because of my back.” According to the New York Time’s, even though a person might be in there 70’s they are able to run faster then they’re expected. These highly energetic middle aged people are able to do this by exercising everyday and eating a well balanced meal.
Another teacher who stays fit is Ms. Thompson. “I walk my dog everyday for an hour and a half and I eat right,” she stated.
Those are not all the teachers who stay healthy and fit for their age. Many teachers in Jamaica are coaches for the Jamaica High School sport teams. They try to do the same excerises they make their athletes. For instance Mr. Pallisco said " I stay fit when I play softball."

I thought this was a good article because it shows students that their teachers can be just as fit as they are or more. it shows working out is good for the body and it can follow you as a positive thing as you get older.
this was an interesting article. it coveys that age is just a number and that exercise is important
The 1st sentence should be rewritten, it just doesn't sound right. End the (“ It’s a testament to how adaptable the human body is") researchers said,"" you should end a quote and start a new quote. spelling error in the 2nd paragraph, "school".
Overall the article is good i'd give it a four its funny to actually know what teachers do on their leisure time.
It was an ok article. The close could have been better though. It is a positive article about staying fit. You could have got quotes from students.
Harpreet, interesting topic!
I think the lede would work as one sentence, just the first one.
Then make the second graf the follow-up quote.
And, of course, the ending left me feeling incomplete.
*note, graf breaks should be clear
pretty please add me to your links section...
