[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the early start time for elementary kids is the early finish time.  [b]Right now a lot of dual working families can stagger their schedules to make the current times work.[/b]  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]

So if they (ES) parents can make the current times work, I fail to see how an extra 30 min later (Option 2) would be so devastating. They also are now saying the early schedule won’t work (Option1). Sorry, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.[/quote]

The current times don't really work, they suck, they're hard on parents and on kids. The extra 30 minutes would be even worse. I don't know why this is so hard for you to understand. I am guessing you're a SAHM with kids in an 8:30 - 3:30 elementary school. We would love 8:30 - 3:30, too, but we didn't get that.[/quote]
