[quote=Anonymous]We did girls on the run for  3 years at Janney. It was a great experience until last year when the teachers took it over. Previuosly, parents had run the group with lots of enthusiasm and they really pushed the girls to get in shape. During the winter of 2010-2011 when the teachers took over, they stopped running at 7:45AM and did some nonsense team-building where they sat around in one of the teacher's classrooms. If it was even drizzling slightly, they would not run. When they did run it was such a short distance--that there was virtually no cardio benefit. It was also taken over by this gang of 4th grade girls that have ruined every activity that ny DD has done since 1st grade. There are 8-10 girls in that grade that are a total brats--they do every activity together; the play, origami, scrabble, art, etc., you name it they take it over, socialize and laugh through the whole thing and ruin for any kid who actually wants to seriously do the activity. They ruined the play this year--they are just awful. So, yeah GOTR started off great, but it really depends on who is running it and the behavior profile of the girls involved.[/quote]
