| What is an Afterschooler? by Amy Zahler, Afterschoolers Staff |
|||
| An Afterschooler is any
parent or guardian who purposefully augments
his or her child’s dayschool education. The phrase itself came from “homeschoolers”, parents who provide a complete education for their children from home. Afterschooling caregivers send their children to public or private school during the day and supplement desired academic subjects or extracurricular activities to provide their children a full-spectrum education. Some parents choose to do so to augment a gifted and talented student's education; others may have identified a tutoring need for a student who is behind or who has special needs. Others may simply wish to add depth to their children's education. Whatever the reason, Afterschoolers have decided to blend the best of homeschool and dayschool education. The Afterschoolers website is a central clearinghouse for the information parents need to augment their children’s education whether they choose public school, private school, or homeschool for their children's basic education. We help you find the information for successful classroom interaction, enriched learning experiences at home and carefully-selected extracurricular activities. We bring you articles from a variety of sources, independent reviews, and learning resources and invite you to relate your experiences and expertise in the Afterschoolers Forums. |
