Yes, I think that afterschool programs can be a very good thing. Too many of our students go home to little or no support. However I do believe it needs to be hands on, fun and not as structured as school. Active learning, the arts and movement must be a part of any good program afterschool. A love of learning, and finding the school a fun and supportive place to be will enhance students' academic scores and progress.
