Creating a better future
The problem
Students in grade school have too much free time after school and have trouble being productive with their time. Therefore, students get involved in a series of harmful acts that could destroy their future, get them in trouble with the law and even put their lives in danger. These harmful acts could include drugs, vandalism, stealing and any other adrenaline rushing activities that can fill the hours of these young students after school. We need to to fill these students empty schedule after school with effective activities that will benefit their future.
the solution
Students need a place to go after school where they can spend their time effectively while partaking in educational and fun activities that will help them learn, grow and succeed. This process will guide students in the right direction and prepare them for adulthood.
My vision
My vision is to change the future of students and help them learn, grow and succeed. I want students to see they have a place in this world and a bright future while creating unforgettable memories, friendships, and skills that they will cherish for the rest of their lives. I plan to do this by starting an after school program where kids grades kindergarten to 8th grade can come to find their passions and expand on their talents, while receiving the support they need with homework and any subjects they are struggling in.
my view on education
In today's world, many families work long days, or have busy schedules and are unable to be home when their child gets home from school. In communities across the United States, 11.3 million children are without supervision between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. When students get home, there is no one to guide them to do their homework or use their time productively. This unsupervised time can be detrimental to their education as well as their social and behavioral outcomes. They can fall behind in school and they may start to use their unsupervised time in ways that are bad for their growth.
In addition to the issue of unsupervised time after school comes the issue of students learning process stopping. When students don't continue their learning after school, their learning is confined to what they learn in the classroom. Students need structure and time after school to learn on their own and figure out who they are and what they enjoy doing in this world. If these students fill their time after school with a productive, structured schedule, they will expand their learning to outside the classroom, receive multiple behavioral and academic benefits, and avoid the possibility of falling into bad habits that will affect their future. Students' time in school is educational and important, but their learning is confined to what the teachers teach them. Students need to expand their learning outside of the classroom to be able to see what else this world offers and be able to fail or excel at something they learn on their own.
Many students need to be a part of an after school program where they can receive assistance and tutoring on their homework, as well as build relationships and continue to learn and grow. An effective after school program can improve classroom behavior, school attendance, academic aspirations, and can reduce the likelihood that a student will drop out. Positive academic outcomes as well as social and behavioral benefits occur when students are a part of an after school program.
