APS hurts children again by canceling Extracurriculars until January 14th

[Anonymous]

I think the student athlete is right. Given the case numbers, we should take a break from sports AND school for a couple weeks.

Arlington doesn't even have enough snow plow operators. Come on.

Kids need and deserve as much normal as we can give them. The sky is not falling. We have vaccines and boosters and better treatments. Let the kids play.

If you want to cancel spectators, fine. If you want to require athletes to wear masks, even that I am OK with. But don't cancel all activities.

We have more hospitalized Covid-19 patients than at any other time during the entire pandemic.

Not possible.

Biden said he would get the virus under control .

The student athlete was not saying that at all. She was saying why on earth are they cancelling sports?

You closed school advocates are really pathetic though. First reaction is to close schools.

More fear porn. Check HHS Portal. VA hospitals are doing fine.

As Fauci and Walensky have said, many of those hospitalized are incidental positives too (people there because of a broken bone, giving birth or something else that test positive for COVID).

ERs are slammed too...with triple vaccinated people who have minor symptoms freaking out they tested positive.

The closed school advocates including the superintendent of PG County Schools should take 2 minutes and listen to Eric Adams, the new NYC mayor. He spoke today on national news as an advocate for all students in NYC but especially the poor and underserved children and explained wholeheartedly how much disadvantaged children need to be in school from a safety, mental health, food, security as well as an academic perspective. It’s beyond compelling and to me l wish our local leaders cared as much. Honestly, l just don’t understand how these closing school advocates sleep at night.

These are fundamental parts of school. If you close them, you're closing school.

I don't lose sleep at night because APE's overprivileged children have two weeks off from basketball.

Many sports parents weren't part of APE b/c they're too involved with sports, travel teams, etc. But they've been joining APE in mass in the past 2 weeks.
