McKenzie said one of the benefits for adult attendees of the 20-week “Getting Ahead In a Just Gettin’ By World” classes on Tuesday nights has been in providing free child care with an educational focus. As members of the class graduated in December at St. Paul United Methodist Church, several offspring were also recognized, McKenzie said. While their parents have been attending classes until 8:30 p.m. Tuesday nights since August, many of their youngsters have been getting tutoring and online class help for their own advancement. With the aid of anonymously donated computers and online educational lessons provided by Khan Academy, several of those youngsters have shown dramatic increases in their learning levels based on standardized testing.
