[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me or are these programs not even close to the same, even though they have similar names and descriptions?

Environmental Science & Leadership

Global Ecology and Leadership
https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/regional-programs-and-themes/global-ecology/

It's like Poolesville gets to keep the good ecology program and everyone else gets the Dollar Store version. [/quote]

Like everything in MCPS they are trying to create a perception of uniformity and equal access, calling it "equity" and not achieving any of those things.[/quote]

Who are all the community partners that will give hundreds of students internships?[/quote]

I'm on the design team and we asked about that. MCPS plans to leave it up to schools to figure that out. [/quote]

This is actually a critical piece. It takes a long time (years) to develop the internship relationships/programs that amount to valuable experiences for all parties. Geesh.[/quote]

And why would these businesses even want to deal with HS age kids when they have a line out the door of adult applicants. [/quote]

The kids aren't paid workers so they don't compete with adults.

Have you every supervised an intern? Some are great and others create more trouble than they are worth. Since they are only there short term it is often not worth the headache.[/quote]
