[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And for the schools are for learning and not sports crowd, these are the final years many of these kids get to participate in team sports that teach valuable lessons in hard work, determination, and cooperation. To rob those children of that opportunity so a few kids can get an extra 2 weeks to prepare for a test is pretty stupid. If your kids need the extra 2 weeks, maybe you shouldn't have forced them into AP classes they aren't capable of in the first place[/quote] That is your opinion, not a fact and I disagree. Many other school districts in the country start far earlier in the country and are advantage for the same national tests offered in May. 40 pct of kids in many schools take AP exams or IB exams. Schools by definition exist for academic learning not for team sports. The word extracurricular exists for a reasons. [/quote]
