[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not the school system's responsibility to provide childcare.   They are there to EDUCATE not BABYSIT!!!!![/quote]

My thought exactly.  Another example of people having children who cannot afford them.  It is the responsibility of the parent to provide afterschool care.  As a taxpayer, I am sick, sick, sick, of taking up the slack because too damn many of you have children you cannot afford.  Take care of your own damn kids and let the schools do what they should do, TEACH and stop complaining because you aren't getting free or subsidized  babysitting.  [/quote]

We are not talking about getting free or subsidized babysitting. Do you realize that school doesn't start until 9:15 and gets out at 3:25? This is about working parents (i.e. be at you desk at 8:30-5pm, federal working hours) being able to send their kids to public school. If there are cost associated with building use, unlocking doors, etc. then that can be part of the cost of the program that parents pay for. This is not something other locations don't have. In fact MOST public schools in Montgomery and DC allow these programs and PARENTS pay the cost.[/quote]
