Plus, there is a keen interest in afterschool education. <BR/><BR/>I like the design elements they had too. <BR/><BR/>But, all in all -- it is very much a remedial program. It is about the basics, like 1-2-3. It is for 5th graders, they say. Humm...<BR/><BR/>I, personally, have a different approach. <BR/><BR/>As a coach, I want to push, pull, challenge and motivate kids and participants.
