[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This may blow your mind, but you can have an awesome childhood without participating in ANY way in sports.  I did.  If there were football games I never knew about them. My friends and I had no idea about school spirit - if there was "homecoming" I didn't know about it.

I was busy doing my hobbies and interests with my friends. I had a great time in high school. There's more than one way to have fun, OP.  [/quote]

Same.  And I went to a big public HS in FL (though not near Miami) so I know the kind of "culture" OP is talking about.  I was never into that scene and went to the NE for college and never looked back.

OP will not find that scene here, and definitely not in private school.  If you want a big boisterous HS scene where sports like football dominate, why the hell would you go for private?  It will be the exact opposite.

Of course, like others have said, who knows whether OP's kid will want that HS experience that OP has such great memories of.  [/quote]
