[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would a Janney-request model be better for Lafayette specifically? I don't get it.

It seems like an alphabet soup of confusion. [/quote]

I agree. Janney's model may work well, but a lot of it has to do with the huge availability of AU students-- don't underestimate this. Kids may have different counselors every day of the week. Because it takes a lot of the HR pressure off-- and that is one of the biggest issues with providing services like aftercare.

Anyhow, it's a unique and complex model. All other schools do what Lafayette is proposing.[/quote]

Regarding the AU students -- Janney has successfully tapped the a talent pool that is available to them.  One of the elementary schools in NOVA relies heavily on retirees to provide homework support as part of the after school program because they have a large retired populated in the neighborhood.  Plus it facilitates more interaction between the seniors & juniors in the neighborhood.  This seems like something that Lafayette could pursue and frankly something that the Chevy Chase Association might lend support to.  My guess retirees in Chevy Chase have a breadth of skills they could offer to our young students beyond just school-day homework support if they were organized and allowed to brainstorm how they might want to contribute.[/quote]
