Plenty of other extracurriculars have kids who have worked their whole 4 years for the culminating senior season (Science competitions, music competitions, etc.) that have been cancelled. Think of all the students in AP classes all year, and now AP exams are all turned on their head.
To make kids come to terms with this, maybe tell them that it's like they had a season-ending injury just before their senior season. That does happen, and it's rough, and no-one ever suggested that those kids need/deserve another high school season, they just have had to move on.
Great points... thx. Where this all ends nobody really knows. Appreciate the insight!
While our governor held back closing beaches and closing restaurants for spring breakers, he stated early on that students could repeat a year. Just said it with no discussion with any county or the State Commisioner of Education. It was a political move. Florida has lost billions in revenue. So have our counties, tax dollars need to be spent wisely.
You asked for our opinion, as a FL resident, it's not gonna happen, only situation MIGHT be for younger students from specific geographical areas that would need to stay back.
If you feel that your son needs another year to get back to where he was , Florida has great JUCO programs. He needs to begin to get his info out there, asap because many programs already have 2021s committed.
