[quote=Anonymous]17:42, I understand your concern, and might wonder the same things if I heard about it in a vacuum. It seems very matter of fact in tone, both with the participants and with the rest of the kids, who are absorbed in their own activities at the time. It just looks like a little junior high cross-country team out for a run. If you stay interested in the school, hopefully you will see the Lower School Head in action--he really is a treasure. Good sense of humor balanced with discipline, is respected by the boys but he likes and knows and respects them back. My observation of boys (and probably kids generally, but I'm thinking about boys now) is that if they know you like them, and KNOW them, and are fair about discipline/rules, they will accept structure pretty happily. (Lastly, the Mater Dei bookbag thing if true is pretty offensive and sounds ghastly.) [/quote]
