[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's teachers at GW have been, for the most part, excellent. They do try to offer program (AVID, LINK club, ASA afterschool soccer) to help kids who need activities. That being said, if a kid wants to do a sport at the high school, the registration process and medical form and also the equipment needed for some of it are such that, unless you have an involved parent with some disposable income, it's going to be impossible.[/quote] Forget the forms. Just the fact that they have usually one or maybe two teams (JV and Varsity) for each sport means if your child isn't exceptionally good, they have zero chance of competing at the HS level for their HS kids. I know countless kids who wanted to play soccer but didn't make the cut. These were kids who have been playing with ASA and travel programs since they were 8 years old but yet not "good enough" for their HS. It's sad.[/quote]
