[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if it works the same way at every high school, but my Poolesville student had the option of a one period or two period internship. DC is doing the two period one. DC attends the first 5 periods M-Th, and is then free to leave for the day. Everyone with an internship has to show up to 6th period on Fridays to meet with the teacher who oversees the internship program. Then they’re free to leave for the day.

With the double period internship, my dc is required to work a minimum of 10 hours per week, but dc could do 7 hours one week and 13 the next; the total hours just have to average at least 10 per week. DC got a virtual internship and can do the work from home. DC doesn’t always have enough work to fill the hours, but fortunately, dc got hired this fall at a retail job (paid) after school, and paid employment counts too, so between the internship and the job, dc has no trouble meeting the required hours.

My dc still has to fill the other 5 periods out of the day with classes, so it’s really not a half day program.[/quote]
