Is your camper allowed to bring the assigned reading and language packet to camp?
I mean, sure, but aren’t they also allowed to have a summer break? It just seems absurd. They will knock it out, but it’s just annoyingly unnecessary busywork that is disruptive to our summer plans
It must be hours and hours and HOURS of work over the 9-10 weeks of summer. So very disruptive!

NP and please reach out to DCPS and OSSE. Kids are not required to read many books at all from 6th-12th grade.
OSSE doesn't make those decisions. They do standards, not curriculum.

I am fine with it. It is the best way to prevent the loss of learning that happens over the summer.

I’m sure they can find time during the two weeks they are home. The summer slide is real for a lot of kids.

My DC has a ton! Math, ELA and Spanish. Seems excessive. It’s doable, but am wondering if others are as annoyed as I am?
