[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]

He volunteered at an after school program and summer camp (same program) that he did in elementary school. He loved it, it built his leadership skills, it was 100% free (no paid CIT situation). Great all around. And things like turning in SSL forms are great teaching opportunities for executive function skills that are required in entry level jobs. [/quote]

Yet you paid for your kid to attend this camp all through elementary school before they took him on as a CIT.  I guess you consider spending your money annually “minimal effort”.  Most kids don’t have those opportunities.[/quote]
