[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible to make the Saturday School mandatory for low performing students. Maybe MCPS can pay for the fees? [/quote] The reality is that it's still up to the parents to get them there. No one can force them to do that even if it's mandatory. School is mandatory, but many parents of low performing students treat it as optional. That's a part of the problem. It takes a LOT of absences for there to be any repercussions and even then the worst that happens is that letters are sent and eventually the parents have to attend a meeting and form a plan but that's about it. We have a lot of kids out when the weather is bad (meaning, not perfectly 70 degrees and sunny). If it rains then that's a reason to keep kids home. Unfortunately I'm being 100% serious. --teacher [/quote]
