[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please raise hell about this. Honestly, middle school kids are always getting the shaft because it's "only two years" but it's such a tough time. They needs these activities. They need the engagement, the exercise, the supervision. Our kid would be coming home to an empty house. She would be fine. She's a good kid. But can't we provide something for these kids? We live in one of the richest counties in America, FFS. Where are my tax $ going?!?  [/quote]

I'm not in favor of these activities getting cut, but I think kids needing activities is [b]a little over dramatic[/b]. Maybe some kids do, but not all do, I get that some kids may need constant supervision, but engagement and exercise do not need to come from activities.[/quote]

This is a frustrating time. Telework is eliminated for thousands, bullying and harassment of federal workers is the norm, increasing taxes, no respite from inflation. And now this. Forgive us all for being a little "dramatic" about something that affects our kids. I'm glad you think your kid will be ok. You're lucky.[/quote]

I'm sorry, the over dramatic comment was wrong of me. But, some comments make it seem like no kids will be or are ok if these activities weren't here.[/quote]
