[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see "Morning childcare is canceled. All-day childcare programs will operate on a two hour delay."

Could it be the staff at morning only programs may have other jobs and their ability to report is hours/time based? I.e. someone who can only work till 9 am, in the event of a delay, it doesn't make sense for them to come in 2 hours late when they have another location to report to? Just curious [/quote]

That’s what I’ve been saying for a couple pages back. But a lot of parents here seem to think that these workers are available all day long. Nobody can live on a salary of just a couple hours every morning so it stands to reason that many of these people have other jobs they must get to.

“It wasn’t a problem in the past!” I bet a lot of of these places operated with the wrong student to teacher ratios.  But I think parents don’t care or see it as an issue that as long as their children were at before care. [/quote]

You are answering the wrong questions here.  Yours is a response to "I am annoyed that my beforecare provider has chosen not to open today, and I don't understand why!"

People are asking something different, which is "Why did MCPS force beforecare providers-- their private tenants-- to close when they were able to open and wanted to open?"  Your answer is either totally irrelevant, or you think that MCPS should be forcing all beforecare providers to close because some of them might not have enough staff which is ridiculous.

I mean, I think the "it was unsafe to send MCPS staff to open buildings for beforecare providers at 9am even though they were doing it at the exact same time for full-day providers and high schools" argument is BS, but it's at least something that is theoretically reasonable for MCPS to care about and be involved in.  But everyone saying "but what if not enough beforecare staff could make it to some sites for them to operate?" is talking about something that has nothing to do with how MCPS makes decisions about facilities, it's about how individual providers make decisions about opening/closing.

Get the fck off your inconvenient day.
First, mcps can make the decision as to if their facility can be open or not. 
And, not sure if you are same poster but you need to understand that before care employees might not be showing up because they are going to their other job at the time when delayed child care would be starting up. So between 9-9:30am they are on their way to another place or are not paid for those hours on delayed start days so they do not come in. [/quote]

Slow down and try reading the post again.  Your answer has nothing to do with the actual questions here.  If you're not willing to take the time to comprehend the actual issues, please take your time and attention elsewhere.[/quote]

It's best if YOU do that. [/quote]

Name one thing I am not understanding here.  I can name at least 3 things you are not understanding.

Also, why are you even here?  Those of us who were harmed by this decision are here to try to figure out ways to make things better.  Are you here just to laugh at us and taunt us?  Who does that? [/quote]
