nintendo MA schools...new trend!!??
Hi all,
How do schools take care of students before and after class?
I have seen them sitting down watching videos and playing video games.
Went to visit some tkd schools. Interested in seeing how they run the school from a biz perspective.
This school I went to picks up kids from school and lets them hang out for almost 2hours before tkd class even begins.
It sure is convenient for parents, but the kids just play video games or watch tv.
At one place the baby sitting lady said that they can do their homework when the van brings them in from school and she showed me where the tables are to do that. But I didn't see anyone using them. Maybe I got there too late.
I am wondering if there is anything else that schools do to occupy the time of students while they are not training.
This seems like a big deal for anyone who wants to open a school to consider
Thoughts?

physical and mental development of the young mind
[QUOTE=PangQuan;761709]i always liked to see the kids playing games. physical games. There are so many things kids can do that will benefit thier MA and are just games to play.[QUOTE=PangQuan;761709]
I agree.
Thanks everyone for chiming in with your view points.
I don't have anything against after school baby sitting. Even if it is in a MA school.
I have a 7 year old and I know how it is. I would like a place for him to go after school where he can learn things and hang with kids doing exercise or using their mind.
The problem that I see is that the schools that are trying to make money off this age group do not provide a good service of taking care of the kids through mental and physical development outside of the training time.
That is ok if the parents take the kids to MA class and take the kids home when it is over. But I think it is a different story when the school is offering to 'watch' the kids for an additional several hours.
That is why I ask what the schools do for kids both before and after class. I mean those schools that have this daycare thing going on(even if they don't like to use the name 'daycare').
In Taiwan, my uncles and brothers schools had the kids run around after class or practice other cultural things like CHinese Yo Yo. It is a like gymnastics and juggling at the same time.
For the overall mental and physical development of children's mind and body tv is not to good.
So I don't like to see them used in a place of education where the parent is paying money for an education service.
On another note, doesn't it seem to anyone else here that soda machines and blaring tv's disrupt the focused mind and concentration that a characterizes a MA school?
I get the feeling that a lot of people at the board go to schools that don't have a lot of little children classes.
