With all the budget cuts the last few years, there are no after school activities for students in middle or high school, and few for elementary school. I think after school activities are an important part of a child's development. It allows them to express themselves, interact with others, and learn new skills.
I understand that there is no extra money for this, and that teachers can only give so much.
But, what if we parents take matters into our own hands. Everyone is good at something. Everyone has a special skill. What about parent supported after school activities. What if parents donated just one hour a week, maybe twice a month to share their special skills with students that share that interest. We could use the school facilities. No cost to the school, and our children get the benefits. Please discuss.
