[quote=Anonymous]To the posters suggesting MS kids don't need ANY ECs...here's something to think about. In addition to making kids more well-rounded, allowing them to be part of a team, getting them active and fit, providing creative and artistic outlets, fostering healthy competition, instilling grit, nourishing a passion, and on and on, ECs at this age lead to diversified, multiple friend groups! It's so important that MS kids don't just have one group of friends. Recipe for disaster! Literally ZERO ECs at the middle school age is, in fact, under-scheduled in my book. Even with like one sport and one something else a season, there is plenty of time in a week for MS to spend chilling out with friends. Also, there won't even be any kids to "hang" out with in the after-school hours because all the other kids will be doing ECs. [/quote]
