zoiks. I always wonder about the control freakiness of those who run many programs for kids/students.
One of the women I work with has a granddaughter (11 or 12) who's in gymnastics- she broke her hand, but before they knew that for sure, she was practicing on it. For 5 hours. WTF is wrong with finding out BEFORE she practices?
sheesh

Carole, I hope this works out okay- unfortunately, these days, I think it is sort of 'normal'. Decent, no. Normal, likely.
