The issue of remote learning students participating in sports was a hot topic in N.J.
Governor Murphy decided that remote learning students should be allowed to
participate in sports.
What has a lot of parents upset is the "hybrid" model some school districts
are using fro their grammar schools.
In person learning 2 days a week,8:30 -12:00.
Virtual learning,3 days a week,8:30 - 12:00.
That comes out to 5 half days every week.
The parents feel that's not close to enough time.
I liked the letter to Editor,except for the part about "you can play the game another day".
For some kids,especially seniors,they may be losing their last chance to
compete on the interscholastic level.
So,for them,they don't have the chance to play another day.
As an athlete I feel that sports are an integral part of the educational
experience.
So,as long as they can be undertaken safely,I feel schools should make every effort to offer sports,even during these trying times.
