Other 91 Percent: A Supplemental Volume to the National Assessment of the Chapter1 Program

摘要

The report examines a number of potentially educational non-school activities andprograms and describes some of the advantages that elementary and secondary students may realize through participation. It also identifies some of the social and economic factors that limit students' choices of non-school activities, particularly among poor and minority students; offers some examples of programs that have successfully overcome these barriers; and looks at the potential for the Chapter 1 program to link with these programs to create comprehensive sets of services for children. Finally, students' out-of-school uses of time are examined within an international context.
