Take for _____________________ the after school programs on offer. When I was a mere tyke, there were no after school programs! My parents were forced to enroll me in expensive options for _________________ at the community center, or in __________________ athletic activities. Now, let\u2019s contrast this with my 8 year old son\u2019s experience. He gets to choose from a __________- swath of options each semester, from Dungeons and Dragons Club, to Strategy Game Club, to Ukulele ____________. He, of course, chose ukulele, and is now learning the Beatles\u2019 classic Yellow Submarine.

For my 11-year-old daughter Penelope, we chose _________________ for her and I was stunned by the options she had. One was called mini computers, which are short classes including coding and 3D printing. She has a myriad of other ________________ as well, including drama, choir and _____________________, where she can choose ______________ strings or brass instruments. Even more _________________ is the experience I\u2019ve had recently with my daughter Adeline, who starts high school next ________________. We went to a school orientation last week and I couldn\u2019t believe the list of electives! She is interested in culinary arts, so we _______________ the classroom and they had _______ mini kitchens with everything they would need for a hands-on class. She also was interested in an elective called biomed, describing every _________________ in the medical industry. They also were offering choir, drama, volleyball, Spanish, French, and ASL, among others. She could only choose 3 of these, which was difficult! It was ____________ different from when I was a child.<\/p>\n
