[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feels like they just bulk emailed everyone who met certain metrics. I doubt they care if anyone joins as long as they have enough to operate the program. And they'd probably be delighted if it were less affluent folks. [/quote]

[b]This.  Doesn’t sound well planned.  It’s more to target lower SES kids for math and who needs childcare.[/b]

No way would I cancel summer travel for this.  What for?  4 weeks of math when your child is doing fine.  They don’t need it.  Let kids be kids for the summer and travel and do fun camps.[/quote]

The line about “targeting lower SES kids for math and who need childcare” is honestly pretty gross and presumptuous. It assumes a lot about the district, families, and their motivations. [/quote]

Haven’t been in DC too long?   Yes most of their programming in the summer is to help low income kids and prevent summer slide in addition to helping families with childcare.

Above program is the same but at least now they are trying to help kids with potential whose families might not have the math capacity to help at home.

[b]Are you naive enough to think they are targeting UMC families??  [/b]Come on, as can be seen here they have travel plans and if not summer camps have been booked since Jan.[/quote]

We're a bougie-presenting family and I would send my kid for 2 weeks, if that's allowed.[/quote]
