[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cooper at least has god awful afterschool activities. Almost designed so the teachers don't actually have to do anything. "Movie club" - for example. What kids want to sit for another 2 hours, after school, watching some crappy movie on Disney channel when they could do it at home? Library Club! Honestly, just terrible. [/quote] It’s still better than MS kids going home alone and/or doing who knows what when the rest of society is at work or school. At least this way, they’re somewhere safe, supervised, and with peers. My parents always had a rule that I couldn’t be at someone else’s house if the parents weren’t home. As the now parent of a MS-aged kid, I get it. I’m not saying it’s the school or county’s responsibility per se, but I’m all for any opportunity for adolescent kids to have something safe to do with friends, regardless of how mundane it might be.
