[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We received the annual SELT letter from FCPS (Summer Extended Learning Time) - just in time for the end of school.  Honestly, what are they thinking?  They have three weeks for this program in July - and by this late date, everyone's already made their summer plans.  Does no one ever think ahead, that families might need advance notice to work three weeks into their summer schedules?

What would really have made a difference would have been extra tutoring/help throughout the school year, when it was needed, not just as an afterthought due to bad SOL scores.  Are SOLs the only things these schools care about?   :x [/quote]

1) Not everyone has over scheduled their child's summer.
2) They work with SACC and the Rec_Pac camps so that a full day will be covered.
3) They have a working list, but wait until the end of the year to see where the children are (some who may have been lagging may have surged in the past few months and other who were ahead may have fallen back).  
4) If your child plays a string instrument- get used to it, many music camps don't get organized until June either. 
5) If this is a shock to you, perhaps you should have paid better attention. 
6) SELT is not mandatory, it is voluntary.  If you don't want your child to do it, don't have them do it. 
7) My children and HS and there was no such thing as SWLT then, count your blessings.  In fact, there were a few years where they was only ESY and no other summer school  unless the parents paid for it.
