The wording of the two poll questions regarding after school - yes or no:
If the afterschool was an extension of the school day, with same requirements, meaning credentialed teachers, following state standards, assessment formative and summative that would then "extend the school day" and I would be for that...with credit on the student's transcript.
If the after school program was an enrichment of what is taught in the school day, with the expansion of requirements, using credentialed teachers, assessment formative and summative, that too would then "extend the school" and I would be for that...with credit on the student's transcript.
I support aligning programs with school instruction and after school programs. If after school programs are not done as noted in the two options above then do not call them "education" and don't mislead the students that the program will count for college....this is an all too common happening.
