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. [/quote]False.  SACC waitlists are much longer for aftercare.  Hardly anyone is using the morning precare year after year. [/quote]
You're such an idiot. This may be true at your high SES lots of SAHMommies school, but at schools with normal families who have two working parents, the waitlist for before care can be a year long - meaning, kindergarteners rarely get in unless they have a sibling already in the school. This is the case at my school and several others that I'm aware of.[/quote]

Well, this is ridiculous.  I no longer have kids that age, but anything after 9 for elementary is insane.  I prefer 8[/quote]

Isn't it nice that we're all allowed our preferences?  Or is it just the crowd who prefers early starts?[/quote]
