[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t think the pay is good enough for me.  I was concerned [b]that mostly struggling learners would sign up[/b], and I didn’t want to be cheap daycare for parents.  That happened last time I worked summer school and I was worried it would be worse this year.  Also MCPS has not been telling staff any details at all.  All of the agreements and accommodations expire on June 17th and I don’t feel like being a test case for the issues that crop up.[/quote]

Isn't that the actual point of summer school is remediation for struggling students?![/quote]

Not this year. It’s new content. They are encouraging all students to sign up at the elementary level.[/quote]

I strongly doubt it is new content.  This would make them ahead of other students in the fall.   I expect a lot of computerized reading and math activities to review and extend, but not new material.

We tried to pin down what would be taught this summer through our 5th grade CES teacher, elementary guidance counselor, and MS guidance counselor and couldn't get answers from them.     We haven't completed the last two units in 5th grade, we were hoping they would do that in the summer, that my DC would be ahead in AIM in the Fall.    They wouldn't tell us anything, giving us the obvious conclusion it would just be review from the normal 5th grade content to reduce learning loss over the summer.   We were able to the workbooks for the last two units, so my DC and I can work on it together for an hour each during the summer.[/quote]
