We are a member of the Texas After School Association This is not a daycare program, This is an "After School Karate Program". From education experts and law enforcement officers to parents and grandparents, Americans agree that afterschool programs make sense. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, help working families and improve academic achievement. More than 28 million children today have parents who work outside the home.1 As many as 15 million kids have no place to go once the school day ends.2 Studies show that students involved in afterschool programs get better grades, attend school more and have improved behavior. They also express greater hopes for the future and more interest in school.3 Teens who participate in afterschool are less likely to skip class, use marijuana and other drugs, smoke, drink alcohol or engage in sexual activity.4 Two-thirds of Americans say that it is difficult to find programs in their communities and that not enough programs are available.5 About 13 percent of children and adolescents are now seriously overweight.6 Afterschool programs can provide substantial amounts of health-enhancing physical activity and opportunities to practice skills taught in physical education courses.7 (References: 1 U.S. Department of Labor 2 U.S. Census Bureau, Urban Institute estimate, 2000 3 “Extra Benefits Tied to Extracurriculars,” Education Week, October 2000)
