There are many sports that are private (soccer, baseball, hockey, basketball) that are in non school clubs. Plus this only impacts junior high and high school. What extra curricular clubs are there really in elementary which accounts for 1/2 of the grades. I don't see elementary teachers impacted by this.

I think this post reveals a lot of ignorance because all you see is your child’s 20-something classroom. Much of the elementary teachers’ “extra” is invisible.
I taught in elementary, junior high, and high schools and without hesitation I would say elementary was the most work I’ve ever had to do. No I wasn’t coaching or leading some grand event, but my non instructional assignable time was professional learning, leading committees, and doing a ####load of paperwork.
You imply elementary teachers aren’t impacted by this when in fact, they are the most strongly impacted. Their “extra work” involves paperwork that helped them get to know each individual in their class better to provide differentiated support. This was already quite impossible with massive class sizes and complexity, but will now be even harder with crappy morale and this return to work order.
