Cost Keeps Many Kids From School Sports, Other Activities
MONDAY, Oct. 17, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- High costs are a major reason why many poor students don't take part in school sports, clubs or arts programs, a new survey finds.
"For some families, financial burdens may override a child's interest in pursuing school activities. No school wants cost to be the reason for non-participation," said Sarah Clark, co-director of the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health at the University of Michigan.
