[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I send my kids to Jewish day school and there is no obsession over sports. Focus is very much on academics. Perhaps our cultures have that in common! In public schools, sports are very competitive and taken very seriously. Not a bad thing, just different cultures. Might also be a factor that the public schools are bigger, there is a greater number of talented athletes and making a team is more competitive. [/quote] Also, my kids school day is longer due to their dual curriculum. A lot of kids do play sports after school (agree with other posters that maintaining physical activity is very important), but there is less time for it, hence going back to the culture piece.
