[quote=Anonymous]Reading this is wild and makes me sad for kids. Maybe while you are sitting in the car waiting during their multiple weekly evening activities you could read the literature on how overscheduling kids hurts more than helps them. My kids have been at both a large DCPS elementary and private. The public elementary, because it was so big, offered a ton of after school enrichment choices, foreign language, competitive sports, music lessons, etc. They picked what they wanted to do from this or didn’t, had it right after school, and were home with plenty of time for play for the rest of the day. The private, although it was larger for a private, was still smaller than the public and couldn’t offer as much. I will say that the public lunch was gross so we sometimes had to pack it, and it was nice not doing that at the private.[/quote]
