[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid is enrolled in aftercare in middle school, it’s because either their parents don’t trust them to be home alone or their parents want them out of the house as long as possible because they are annoying. I wouldn’t send a functional kid to aftercare after elementary school. [/quote] Some kids don’t live near a metro or bus stop. Some parents work close enough to the school that they prefer to pick up their child. Some kids don’t live in a neighborhood their parents feel is safe enough for them to traverse alone. Some children have parents/caregivers that live in different places, and one parent might live much further away. Yes, many middle school kids get themselves around (mine included) and that’s great. But different families have different circumstances, and that’s ok. It’s nice when an aftercare option is available. [/quote]
