                                        TFO turns a boring weekday afternoon into a fun experience that teaches us kids how to take care of ourselves.

                                        When we grow up, our teachers help us learn to cook, try out new languages, dance, and bake art.
                                    
                                            
                                            5:02:45
                                        
                                        They also teach us how to clean up after ourselves when we finish our projects.

                                        That way we have the knowledge for later in life.
                                    
                                            
                                            5:02:53
                                        
                                        Please take these reasons into consideration and give after school more money so they so that kids in New York City can learn how to behave in adulthood and have a fun childhood along the way.
