[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]The Heights - opposite end of the political spectrum from HTS, but an excellent school with nice facilities. [/quote][/b]

The Heights is also academically rigorous.  DS was a non-catholic when he attended.[/quote]

Would you say this about the lower school there as well? Seemed like a lot of outdoor recess and not a ton of instruction but not sure   [/quote]

^ The extended outdoor recess for the young boys at the “valley” is the WHOLE point of the lower school. 
Brings up a deeper discussion of how our current schools are failing our boys. The current education system is designed for girls who can sit still, highlight and listen. Boys learn differently and for thr most part cannot sit for 8 hrs straight, they need to move get fresh air and the go back to the books and get another recess run around burn excess energy and then go back to learning

As an example, Our local public school Churchill gives only 30 min of recess time which is INSANE. Not enough time especially for that boys [/quote]

This is such a sexist response. Girls are also not meant to sit 8 hours straight in a day. Both boys and girls need fresh air and to move around to focus better throughout the day. This is also beneficial for adults. [/quote]
