The Need for after SchoolActivities

• School education are critical to develop children habits and cultivate their temperament. Many parents today
have grown up in a traditional model of education. For them children education is based on discipline.

• They often overlook the after school education or development of personal interests that are equally
important for their children. A lot of young parents spend all their time at work. They prefer to send their
children to tutoring class on weekends. In this way, children daily activities are limited to schools and
tutoring centers. What these parents don’t know is that these facilities often make children feel bored and
unmotivated.

• Children cannot learn something in a stuffy environment. There are few opportunities
for parents to take their children to the amusement park or museum. They don’t think children can learn
something in the process of playing. Further more, many people have a first impression of museum as being
boring because almost all exhibitions are displayed on the wall or in display windows.

• Based on these reasons , parents avoid taking their kids to museum to learn. There are more learning and
creativity museums in western countries. Children have many different choices to enrich their spare time
with their parents, which is better than tutoring center. Thus, there is a need for such learning spaces.
