[quote=Anonymous]Now I'm confused.  I can only contribute this about little Langley, where my kids went preschool through 2.  It was a well rounded program, but we thought a little too babyish or girlish for boys.  Maybe that is what the PP meant about gym.  For example: noncompetitive field day.  How can you have a noncompetitive field day?  Why deprive the fastest kid in the class of the joy of bringing home the blue ribbon, especially when that might be the one thing at which he/she excels?  Or the preschool "field day" that involved jump roping and Gymboree style parachutes -- the kindergarten boys (most of whom had been redshirted) were bored silly.  Or the "friendly kickball" game where nobody was supposed to keep score, only you knew that ALL the kids were keeping score in their heads.  It's not about preparing for college sports, but preparing for life by learning how to win graciously and to recover from losses.  Not sure what that has to do with Potomac, about which I know nothing, but that was our Langley experience.[/quote]
