[quote=Anonymous]Very easy to adjust and prioritize needs of at-risk children by ensuring those children have access to summer programs. Of course, it's easy for me to say what's best for other people's children...I in fact have my doubts whether 11 months of DCPS test prep and disrupted classrooms/bullying will actually boost the employability of at risk children. Maybe the alternatives on offer are not as good. How many at risk children actually participate in DCPS summer school? Are parents/guardians clamoring for more? For other children with access to stronger at-home and community resources over the summer, seems crazy to spend scarce resources on an obligatory extra month of school. An extra month of test prep isn't going to help, and will prevent access to out of school learning opportunities, and academic support that is more thoughtfully crafted to address weaknesses.[/quote]
