[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents can pay for sports if they want to opt their kids into them. If there isn’t enough demand, then it doesn’t happen. There you go! Capitalism. [/quote]

And support staff can get jobs elsewhere. Not sure what your point is.[/quote]
...yeah they should. The schools aren’t going to be able to pay coaches or pay teachers per session to run sports. The primary function of school is education, not developing athletes. You’re free to do those activities after school and on weekends. [/quote]

There is a lot of value to sports in schools. They motivate many kids, especially at risk kids, to actually put effort into school so that they are eligible to participate on sports teams. Those at risk kids rarely can afford the club model you propose, financially or logistically. Sports are good for school spirit. Kids will need more than drudgery when schools reopen, and cutting sports across the board won’t be the easy breezy solution that you propose.[/quote]
