Reply to comment by MonkeyPanls in How a Philadelphia antiviolence grant improperly funneled $76,000 to city police staffers by PhillyAccount

I'd argue you're right and what we're saying is one and the same. I grew up in the burbs but the free after school programs were mostly through the school. Those are parts of successful education programs.

But "the schools" is only part of it. In my town, we had neighborhood public library-, parks department-, and museums programs for pre-teen (10-12) and older. The public libraries were also just open as a place to hang out in the evenings and on the weekends.
