[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NCS mom here. DD and her classmates like the independence of crossing the street multiple times a day for sports, lunch, etc. And the crossing guards have complete control over the situation. I sometimes think DD and her friends like rainy days--just look at the way they stomp around in their rain boots up and down Woodley Road.[/quote]I

Ridiculous.  Have to call bs on this.  They love stomping in puddles.  I can assure you my hs daughter does not love walking through a wind tunnel several times a day to go to and fro.  Wouldn't base my decision on this , but this is not a positive at the school.  Head shaking.[/quote]

Yeah, and that's a big problem with our lazy indoors couch slouch society.  I think it's a plus that the kids are moving around and going outside during the day, including during in inclement weather.  Does anybody remember the movie from the 1970s starring John Travolta "the boy in the plastic bubble"?  Lol.  Get your kids out of the mini-van plastic bubble of modern life and let 'em get outside a little bit and walk to class.  And when they get a little older they can walk across the campus in the shadow of that beautiful Cathedral and take classes at St. Albans -- too bad there is not an air-conditioned climate control mono-rail between the schools though, so they don't have to experience wind or rain or temperature change EVER.[/quote]
