[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right, and let's say my kid needs extra support to build his resume and pursue college-worthy extra-curriculars. Who pays for that? There are no MCPS funds or aides for that. [/quote] FAPE, by law, only applies to education. ECs are not education. Also, does your child have a diagnosed disability? Without that, no FAPE requirement and no services. Even if they gave you services, most districts claim they only have to get your kid into the average range (around 30th percentile) regardless of how smart they are. So is your kid below the 30th percentile of ECs? If he regularly does soccer, he is probably “average.” See how much fun it is trying to get services? And how “easy” it is? [/quote]
