I don't think it's good enough to say "if everything else is okay".  Our kids are in a windowless and not very large classroom for six hours at a time.  I told the company that they don't have to keep their promise of phys ed twice a day, but that our kids need to go outside at least once a day for twenty minutes and take a walk.  That's it.  They can't or won't even do that.  Also, the registration fee is not cheap.  [b]They can afford to hire a teacher's aide for a few hours a day (not even the whole day!) and still make a profit, but won't because it will affect their bottom line. [/b]  [/quote]

It's really hard to find someone for just "a few hours a day."   It's not worth the trip for most employees and the fact that they need to dedicate a large chunk of their day which makes it difficult to find other part time jobs.
If you've seen (before Covid) parents on here trying to find  an "after school nanny" or other very part time positions of just a couple hours a day, it's almost impossible.   The parents that do find someone end up paying an outrageously high hourly rate.

I think you're being unreasonable.   I'm sure when the pod started they had every intention of outside time, because they didn't know that the schedules would be so different.   This is really out of their control.

If you do pull your child from this pod, what will you do for his education?[/quote]
