[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We like a lot about Potomac but my son isn’t that sporty. From what I’ve read it’s a very sports heavy culture. Would he not fit in?[/quote]

There is a requirement that you are on a team for pretty much every season.  Usually sports team.  But robotics team also fills the requirement[/quote]

It should but it doesn't.

Robotics kids STILL have to do 10 seasons of sports in high school[/quote]

This is simply not true.  Every US student has to participate in some type of school activity for 2 of the 3 seasons.   As someone mentioned above, one season has to be what they call "sweaty" but that includes all kinds of things like the musical, conditioning, yoga etc.   So at most a kid is looking at 4 "sweaty" seasons across all four years of high school, with the broad definition they use giving kids lots of options that do not involve having to play a true "sport".

This is the correct answer. Pp stating they need to do 10 seasons of a sport plus robotics is using out of date information. [/quote]
