 We already have a latchkey program for the younger kids. For the older children, each school will figure out a program for the kids to do, whether it's additional tutoring or having some sort of activity for them.

 Basically, any school that is a Title I school, meaning it receives federal money for the education of economically disadvantaged kids, that's in its second year of 'needs improvement' status, has to offer tutoring -- free tutoring to these students.

 Another great benefit of the program is that parents can designate a child's school, and grandparents, aunts and uncles can also participate. Even neighbors can select a local school and participate in the program.

 We have a lot of kids who have jobs, who are out for other sports or have little brothers and sisters to take care of and they just can't stay at school until six o'clock every night. What the seventh-period PE program allows us to do is work with them until the final bell of the day - and maybe a half-hour more.

 They have to walk their kids to school. They have to walk their kids home. They are afraid to be out at night. It's kind of dangerous out there with gangs. Parents are interested in this.

 I tried to enroll her in tutoring last year, and it was quite expensive. She had a lot of problems in math. Math has excelled so much since I was in school. Some of the stuff she brings home now, I'm just like 'take it to your daddy.' I was a little excited they were offering free tutoring.

 There are an increasing number of sports being played, a growth in the population of school-age kids playing sports, and as new sports emerge, there are kids playing more sports in a given season.

 We open up the gym two nights a week, from 7 p.m. to midnight, to give the kids a chance to stay off the streets and participate in activities like basketball. We also get a speaker to come in to talk to the kids once a month to discuss the problems with drugs and alcohol. It's sort of a prevention and intervention program. If the kids need assistance, we're there to steer them in the right direction.

 We want to keep sports going. Kids have interest and for some that is the reason they stay in school.

 Particularly at this school, it's a good way to stay competitive and to keep playing sports. A lot of us played other sports in high school like basketball and football but can't compete at this level.

 As a freshman, I didn't really open my eyes to all that Wilby had to offer, ... When we first come to school, I don't think we know what's really there for us. ... The school is loaded with clubs and sports, all kinds of activities, and if you don't come to school you can't participate.

 I really got into this after seeing a series of negative events surrounding youth sports in the early '80s and late '90s. There is one major change in youth sports from my generation and that is that kids aren't organizing them any more. It's done by adults. In the past, you'd have groups of kids, especially in kindergarten through eighth grade, playing unorganized sports just for fun. Things are becoming too organized and too competitive. Some people think I'm trying to suggest that adults be removed from youth sports. I'm not. I'm suggesting the adult ego be removed from youth sports.

 They can stay home and have paid tutoring - that's the option.
