Students' Use of Time Outside of School: A Case for After School Programs for Urban Middle School Youth.
Shann, Mary H.
Urban Review, v33 n4 p339-56 Dec 2001
Students from urban middle schools serving mostly economically disadvantaged, minority youth were asked how they spent their time after school and on weekends. Most students did not participate in after-school programs or lessons. They reported extensive time spent watching television and hanging out with friends. Weekends presented a similar pattern of unstructured social activity with even more television time. (SM)
