[quote=Anonymous]Wow!  Elementary school teacher here and parent....eating out of the lunchbox before school starts is a fantastic idea!  The cafeteria is hectic.  We have lots of volunteers in our school who help...especially that first month or so as kids get settled, but children certainly have to be willing to ask for help if they need it.  If nothing else, their peers will usually be willing to help....although that often ends with grapes, yogurt, etc...all over the floor when they really tug at those tricky containers.

I admit that I never paid much attention to the cost of before/aftercare while my daughter was in preschool and just assumed it wasn't much.  Ultimately, I was shocked at the cost when you look at the hours and the staff to student ratio compared to preschool.  We tried to avoid it to save $$, but the stress of rushing for drop-off and pick-up wasn't worth it so we are going to do aftercare two days a week this upcoming year just so we aren't rushing out every day....plus the kids seem to love it![/quote]
