[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD hated her after school art class that was actually a nazi youth corps (kidding -- but it was very scripted and rule-based and didn't allow freedom to choose theme or content).  She would see through a character lesson disguised as a running club.   Can kids just be kids who run in GOTR?[/quote]

I'm 2:06.  There may be some coaches at some schools who focus heavily on the running and gloss over the curriculum.  If they do, frankly, they are doing it wrong and missing the point.  The curriculum is the mission of Girls on the Run and if the girls walk away at the end of the season without having some additional insight into themselves and the world around them, then they missed out.  Each 60min session should typically be divided almost 50-50 between the curriculum component and the running workout.  And, oftentimes the workout isn't just "Go run for 20min", it's actually a set of running activities built around the day's theme.

If you have questions, reach out to the office in whatever jurisdiction you're in.  DC, Montgomery County, and Northern Virginia each have their own councils.[/quote]
