[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I am not at a charter school that does this, so maybe I’m missing something. But we did visit several schools like this and had them on our lottery list. All of them said if you were in aftercare, aftercare just took the kids early on Wednesday. So, there wasn’t an impact on the parents, and the kids got some additional free play time with their friends each week. What is the problem with this? What am I missing? [/quote]

If your family routine does not include aftercare, [b]you're screwed for the half days.[/b] You drop your kid off and are right back there 3.5 hours later and lose out on the full day of school while you're working. For us, we don't want to opt in for aftercare on chaotic longer half days. The families who are in it at our charter do not seem happy with it, but resigned that it's the option available. we make do with shared afternoon playdates when possible, but it's a real pain.

Except ... you chose this. So, "screwed" is a really strange way to say "we selected this to avoid certain kinds of children and now we don't like it"[/quote]

unless you chose the school before they adopted this schedule.  wow.[/quote]
