[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What probably isn't covered is that some of the dropouts perhaps move to an entirely different state or may go back to their home countries. Non-American native populations are highly transient. It doesn't make sense to waste money on students who frequently move around. In fact, there are lots of services already in place for students and families who struggle with poverty [food drives, schools partnerships with food banks and clothing banks, etc.]. MCPS has free Saturday school and after-school homework help hotline.

There are lots of students who work and go to school, they are not dropping out. [/quote]

For the umpteenth time: Saturday School is not free.

True, but it's only $40.  Also, our Focus school DOES offer weekly after-school tutoring help at the low-income apartments that feed into the school.

There are also lots of free online resources, that can be used for kids who are transient.

$40 is a lot of groceries at Aldi’s. And it can’t be paid in installments. Plus you have to get there on Saturday morning when there aren’t school buses and Ride On isn’t free for minors. Also, many people have more than one child and a teen might be required to babysit on Saturday so that the parents can work.[/quote]
