[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just seems unfair that my kid hears about this stuff and asks if they can do it, and I have to tell them no. Then when they ask why, I have to tell them that it's not our fault. Essentially though, its discrimination.

My kid could absolutely benefit from cool STEM trips. [/quote]

So can mine, which is why we did a sleep in at the Maryland Science Center with a bunch of kids in his STEM Club. I can provide him those opportunities but the kids in Young Scholars come from backgrounds where they are not likely to have those type of opportunities, even participating in a STEM.

Does your child have the opportunity to participate in extra curricular activities or visit museums or participate in enrichment because of where you are as a family? If so, then provide those options for you child. If not, then I would conduct further investigation into the Young Scholars program. My family can provide those opportunities for my kid and we choose to do so. I am glad that FCPS has a program to try and provide similar, but probably not the same quality of opportunities I can provide my kid, for kids who don't have access to those programs through their parents.
