School isn’t babysitting and there are a lot of schedules that have to be accommodated within the school. The system can’t possibly consider all of the many work schedules that exist.

RTO was short hand for the ending of flexible hours.

Every working family I knew had a mom who worked a flex or part time schedule, often with telework even before COVID.

That had been yanked away for thousands of families and will likely worsen

That’s your circle.

Mine is almost exclusively teachers who have been facing this challenge their entire career.

High school teachers have to be in their classrooms by 7:20, yet their elementary aged children don’t start until 9:30.

And many of those same teachers have to run after school activities, so they can’t pick up their own children.

You get that teachers are expected to be professionals too, and that most are faced with the same?

I don’t understand your point. Is there something I wrote above that suggests teachers aren’t acting like professionals?

I’ve been teaching for over 20 years. I paid before and after care costs without complaint. That’s just what I had to do. My coworkers are doing the same.

You are right, sorry. I am mildly triggerd by the teachers in my life who suggest how its so unfair they can't do YXZ with their own children when every other professional is in the same situation, but I see you did't do that.

How is that the school's problem?
