Some of the adults who read this will say that the city can’t afford such a program. I don’t think the program would be very expensive. Supervision could be provided by teachers, people from the town’s parks and recreation department, or even parent volunteers. The only costs required would be for the supervisors and for utilities, such as lights, heat, and air conditioning. The people who say we can’t afford after-school programs should think about what it costs each year to clean up after the vandalism or to take care of young people who enter the court system. Can we afford to offer after-school gym hours? Can we afford not to?
