Nobody ‘opposes’ the program.  I’m sure it’s great.  My neighbor attends.

However, we do oppose using Public School Money to fund a Private School.  Unless you are for Charter Schools (which maybe you are?).[/quote]

No one attends Saturday School INSTEAD OF attending a MCPS public school.  It does not replace the education received during the school day.  It provides extra tutoring and enrichment at below-market rates.  Did no one commenting on this thread see the recent thread about whether MCPS should be providing MORE money and support for tutoring and enrichment activities for low-income students?  http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/728317.page

You may oppose using some public school money to fund after school tutoring and enrichment at below-market rates through a non-profit entity that receives 28% of its funding from MCPS and 72% of its funding from other sources, but calling that "using public school money to fund a private school" is misleading and disingenuous.[/quote]

Talking about ‘below market rates’ doesn’t make it okay. Market rates for tutoring can be $350/hour, that doesn’t make $250/hour acceptable. [/quote]

The Saturday school rate is $70 FOR THE WHOLE SCHOOL YEAR.  Not anything close to $250/hour.  [/quote]
