Eleven San Diego youth rugby teams – safer, saner
The commenter above is correct, Rugby is exploding in the States! San Diego has many wonderful clubs available to athletes, both young and older, experienced and beginners, that are interested in rugby! The San Diego Athletic Club has multiple teams ( for girls and boys) in various SD high schools, a youth program, and an adult program. We practice at Dusty Rhodes in OB and in Mira Mesa ( for those athletes that live closer to Mira Mesa) for our youth programs, our men's program practices at Robb Field in OB and our High School program has club teams in schools such as Patrick Henry, Westfiled, Rancho Bernardo, High Tech High, Point Loma, Kearny, Clairemont, UC High, Hoover and more!! High school season begins shortly! If your high school doesn't have a team you can play at the school closest to you! You can find more information and a complete listing of our teams at: [1]: http://aztecrugby.org Aztecrugby.org [1]: http://aztecrugby.org— August 18, 2014 12:43 p.m.
Is High Tech High at Liberty Station smoke and mirrors?
I am quite astonished at the inaccuracies in this article. ( Shame on you San Diego Reader.) Clearly, this is a case of sour grapes. The author spent an hour, maybe two, at an introductory meeting. She knows absolutely nothing about our school beyond the basics and is counting some reviews on Great Schools as fact. To say that only 1% is college ready is beyond ridiculous. After all the negative remarks she makes, she ends the article by being in a panic that her son didn't get in? After all the grousing, I am surprised she wanted her son to go to HTHI at all....unless, she didn't really believe what she later wrote in the above article. Both my children loved HTHI. (BTW, My eldest scored very well on the SAT and is off to college, yes, a 4 year wonderful school, where is is majoring in the sciences. Is college hard? You bet. But, he is working hard, with a heavy load, and getting good grades. From what he tells me ALL the kids are learning how to make transitions in the first year in terms of time management, and balance. He can read, and so textbooks don't seem to be presenting a problem, he has organized study groups, and is involved with a myriad of activities from Student Government to being in a jazz ensemble. He found a love of learning, an ability to relate to his teachers, a keen interest in the world around him, and an amazing, diverse, group of friends at HTHI. He can also get up in front of a group and present with ease. Is HTHI perfect? No, never said it was, however, I don't think I could have asked for more.— September 28, 2013 5:32 p.m.
