Saturday school? Any insight?

Keep seeing plugs for the George Thomas Saturday school. Is it worth doing? They seem to have other fun classes like robotics.

As a single mom by choice, I needed all the help / support I could muster. My DD loved it. We lived a 30 minute walk away and that walk was our special time together.

It's support for basic school courses, including the tech stuff like basic coding and basic robotics.

Don't expect anything substantial in the tech stuff. It's meant to be universally accessible, aimed at students with 0 experience.

For kids who need extra help. It’s not for kids performing at or above current grade level.

No data on outcomes. It is a way to give MCPS teachers extra cash.

We did it for one of my kids. When your kid needs extra support it’s a pretty easy way to get it.
