[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the early start time for elementary kids is the early finish time.  Right now a lot of dual working families can stagger their schedules to make the current times work.  Without a significant increase in slots for after school SACC, option 1 isn’t viable.

The opposite is true for option 2.  Without a significant increase in before-care SACC spots, it simply doesn’t work for a lot of working parents.

Then again, FCPS doesn’t give a shit about working parents, they probably won’t start now. [/quote]

What about the single parent?

A whole lot easier to find after school care than before school care.  Lots more options.

However:  what is best for the children?
Again --I taught elementary school.  The kids really slow down in the afternoons.  Why do you think we try to teach the most important academics in the morning?

That is the bottom line.  When does the best learning occur?  Clue: it is not after 3--and pretty much not after 1 p.m.[/quote]
