[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, it's a little insulting to call it "a convenient daycare." Almost every parent I know needs to use aftercare, so it's really a necessary part of the school day. The days of having a stay-at-home parent who can pick up at 3 pm are long gone for the majority of DC families.[/quote]

How is the term "convenient daycare" insulting? It is factual and you agreed, stating "almost every parent I know needs to use aftercare" because they work. So it is daycare (parents are working) and conveniently located (at the school). But just because it is conveniently-located at the school and desired by working parents of students at the school doesn't mean it is actually "school" or part of the "school day". Its not. Hence the term aftercare.

Is the private aftercare provider paying the school system (the taxpayers, essentially) for exclusive access to the playground? [/quote]
The aftercare provider at Bancroft is not private. It's run by the DCPS Out of School Time program. [/quote]
