But, all this outrage from the ES parents is a little bizarre. Is it that they don't want to pay for before-care? I  [/quote]
Before care isn’t as widely available as after care, as after care often translates into other after school activities. For example, it’s easy to staff a martial arts afterschool program because they’ll blend into evening classes.

The waitlist for before care SACC at late start elementary schools is long and the demand is high. Many parents already hate the 9:20 start time. Pushing it to 9:50 is adding salt to the wound.

I’m specifically talking about late start elementary schools. Our elementary starts at 8:15, and I agree, hardly anyone uses morning SACC. Our friends have a 9:20 start time and they got into afternoon SACC before they made it off the morning waitlist. [/quote]

Yup! Morning SACC at our late ES has a longer wait list than afternoon. [/quote]
