[quote=Anonymous]PP, I think you miss the point.  You don't have to have a lesser quality athletics program to have academic standards.  Speaking of bad athletics programs - I have toured Little Langley twice ... years apart ... for LS admission.  The gym class was not inspiring.  At all.  The kids looked bored waving silk ribbons.  My child spent time there - was ordered to jog around the gym until the teacher himself said "he was bored" of that and had them do something as inspiring as jumping jacks.  I actually thought of telling the school after  - because I do think it is a very good school - about this impression (which convinced my child that would not be the right place, if such rote exercise would be expected on a regular basis -- my child is athletic because it's fun, not boring).  So if a Langley parent is  reading this, perhaps you could evaluate the issue fairly.  Watch a few gym classes of, say, K and 3rd grade.  I think there are a lot more fun things that could be done.
