The principal stopped publishing the Honor Roll list because it caused stress??? Sure, let's stop praising those who work their buns off to make the Honor Roll because their accomplishments make those who don't feel bad. Heck, our local newspaper prints the Honor Roll!

As for the yoga being required...what if a student is a Christian? Christians are not to do yoga as the poses used are forms of worshipping other Gods?

I’ve never heard that the poses are forms of worshipping other gods.

If they are then the gods are gods of pain because some of those things are brutal.

IMO, a person can practice the yoga excercises without studying or embracing the spiritual aspects some practice. In fact, I just purchased a copy of Yoga for Regular Guys because its a good excercise program without involving Hiduism or whatever.

That being said, seems like this Principle is a kook.

The yoga poses being worship of other gods is BS...the poses have names to help remember them, just like Ballet.

I don’t agree with the other, but Yoga is a positive thing.
