[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Book clubs are voluntary and held at lunch time, at least at my son's school.

I love the educational extras but kids have to be in a place where they can successfully complete them. If the kids are at a school were many of the kids in the class are reading below grade level or not at grade level for math, you cannot spend the extra time on special projects. And you cannot let one group of kids do the fun extras when the other kids don't get to do them because it reinforces that one group is smarter or better or ahead. And while one class, the AAP class is ahead, rubbing the Gen Ed classes nose in that by letting the AAP kids do extra programs like the cool sounding Dig program is not going to be appreciated.

This is why I kept hearing, "oh, we're not doing that anymore" whenever I asked about the demise of a fun program at our Title 1 school.[/quote]

We're at a regular middle class center school and hear the same thing.  Lots of things have gone away. Because not all the students were doing it. So no students can do it.[/quote]

We have after school clubs for anything interesting, but even those are hard to get. I’m at an AAP center and it’s pretty lifeless.[/quote]
