[quote=Anonymous]The site crashes because you aren't guaranteed entry, and at the time registration opens you don't know for sure if your school will be one of the ones with a waitlist, so you have to be online just to make sure.  McKinley STILL has kids on the aftercare waitlist for this school year.

Sure, agreed.  It's not the school's job to provide childcare.  But we also live in the real, non-family friendly real world.  The market isn't there for 1hr babysitters in the morning, and the market is limited for babysitters for 1-2.5hrs in the afternoon.  Teenagers have extracurriculars.  College students have class.  Teachers or student teachers are themselves still at their own schools.

In my vision of how it would work, once you register then yearly you have to confirm that you intend to return in, say, February.  If you confirm, your slot for the follow-on year is guaranteed.  If you don't confirm, your spot goes back into the pool of available spaces when registration opens in March.  I will say that opening it at 8am has always sucked.  8am is working hours [i]and it's working parents who need the extended day option!!![/i]
