[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can families speak more to what they mean about GDS being more fun? I feel like I see a lot of folks describe it that way on DCUM but it could mean a lot of things.[/quote]

I can only speak to HS, but my son loves that they organize sporting activities that the kids and faculty both participate in. 
There was a pickleball tournament this year, with lots of respectful trash talking over email from both sides. 
They're gearing up for fantasy football next year. 
Also other "intramural" type sports with just the students...2 on 2 basketball right now, and they often put together teams from each grade for mini-tournaments...they had volleyball and flag football this year. 
Outside of sports, they put together a three day "mimi-mester" each year with dozens of activities to choose from...anything from going to plays in NY, to cooking, to role-playing games. 
They really do seem to lighten things up when they can, and the kids appreciate it.

As for the lunches, we give our son a budget, and we love that he's learning that kind of independence. [/quote]
