[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok- we are starting PS3 at Tyler in the fall of 2016. Tyler is Title I, so we should have free aftercare. But- turns out that the PTA at Tyler decided to use an outside supplier for the PS aftercare. That is all well and good if it was an option: where parents could pay for aftercare or use DCPS. However, DCPS does not even offer aftercare for the PS kids anymore at Tyler. [b]So help me understand this. Why, as a group of parents would you run out free aftercare?[/b][/quote] Because in most cases, you get what you pay for. If you pay for very high-quality care, you may get enriching options like gardening, language clubs, music lessons, organized sports, robotics, dance, field trips, etc. If you take the low-ball offer, you may get 40 kids in a room watching videos with minimal supervision. Obviously the former costs more than the latter.[/quote]
