[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Thank you, appreciate you taking the time to respond.  It's the beginning of a longer unit, I should have been more clear.  DD plays travel sports, so I have no concerns about getting enough exercise in general--and ym class is normally taken rather seriously at this (private) school.  I am somewhat concerned about safety, since they have a fairly Laissez-faire attitude towards that. [b] I think I will speak with the teacher and ask exactly what's planned.  I really just don't need DD, who is a bit of a daredevil, deciding to 'practice' these types of things outside of school.[/b]  Not like I can watch her 24/7, not do I want to.[/quote]

I'm the poster you replied to. Speaking to the teacher about your concern sounds like a good plan. If your school is anything like our public high school the first thing the teacher will do before starting a "risky" unit is try to scare the heck out of the kids about all the stuff that can go wrong if they mess around or don't follow instructions, so I think if both you and her teacher emphasize that learning this stuff is something that should be done with someone around who knows what they're doing then hopefully DD will get that and not try anything silly while outside of class.[/quote]
