The P in PTA stands for Parent. Any parent at your school is welcome to start up the PTA. PTAs are usually the ones that handle after school clubs.

Yes there are a lot of contractors who will work with schools to offer after school activities. Sometimes we have para educators or teachers who will get paid to stipend to run a club. I don't think clubs are really necessary as a be all and all for school experiences. I do say that my kid really has enjoyed her club experiences, but they are not the only way for her to receive enrichment

Personally I think kids’ brains are completely scrambled from the hours of screen usage at home, but piling on even more at school probably doesn’t help.

yes the world is in decline..LOL
