[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you really believe that taking a 2 week pause on ECs is “hurting” your children then you have bigger problems. Some entitlement there? Just saying…[/quote] It is actually the least-entitled kids who are hurt the most by this decision. There are a lot of kids in this county who rely on APS extracurricular activities to build their resume for college applications and career opportunities. And maybe two weeks doesn't seem like a big deal, but many MS and HS activities are seasonal and 2 weeks is huge for kids preparing for winter competitions-- and not just sports, but also things like robotics and STEM team competitions, Model United Nations, etc. Many of these activities don't carry any more risk than kids being in the classroom. The decision to cancel everything across the board is arbitrary and lazy, and certainly not based on science. [/quote] Funny then that only the entitled rich parents are complaining. [/quote]
