[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yowsers. This thread might take the cake for irrational, uninformed opinions.

My kid finished his hours the summer before 8th grade with minimal effort. Find something they're interested in and build on it. There are many, many things to push back on in K-12 education right now - particularly in MCPS - but this is not one of them. This is an opportunity to explore strengths, interests, and potential pathways - frame it for them in a positive light and they'll be interested.[/quote]

Do let us know the details of how your kid completed his hours before 8th grade with minimal effort.[/quote]

+1. It’s often that the kid “volunteered” as a CIT in a program that mommy and daddy had to pay for.  [/quote]

I recently saw a camp advertising that you could be a CIT for $500. i’m sorry-you are charging people to give you unpaid labor? It actually should be criminal. It listed a whole bunch of responsibilities too. I couldn’t believe it.[/quote]
  It’s upwards of $1000 per week at other camps.  If parents want to pay for their tweens/teens to do these things during the summer, great.  But I find it hard to believe that being a CIT at a camp that charges thousands to campers is what Maryland intended for SSL hours.  [/quote]
