[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m fine with it being taught in elementary school, but it’s ridiculous to have it in high school. Adolescents having to get completely naked to change into bathing suits, change back into regular clothes and walk around all day with their hair wet? Not to mention being forced to wear bathing suits that shows their bodies and ways they may not want to or feel comfortable too. [/quote] Teaching water safety to kids who might not otherwise go to a pool can save lives. And since every HS in Arlington has a pool, it makes sense for the HS students to use the on campus resources.[/quote] It doesn’t make sense for elementary.[/quote] That’s where it makes the MOST sense, if not in preK. Kids are at their shortest and their most impulsive. This is all borne out in the numbers. And don’t just look at deaths - kids survive drowning all the time only to spend the rest of their lives permanently brain damaged. Water is no joke. [/quote]
