A comment on Some school districts plan to end the year early, call remote learning too tough. Parent comment
In my area, kids on the B team in FIFTH GRADE play over 55 basketball games a season.
That's more than any college.
It's the same lunacy for hockey, baseball, etc.
They get social interaction from the team, sure. But it's no longer a seasonal thing. It's year round and cancels out a lot of play time in the hood.
