[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think the private schools are getting a raw deal on this.  Here is another perspective.  Our children have always attended private.  The extended day or aftercare has always been an additional fee, and it always has been dependent on space.  I don't know if they have any requirements to meet.  I can see how/why a school may not be able to accommodate all students since the staffing of extended day obviously is not done with teachers, except those who take it on as a second job.  The school has to hire people to staff the program.[/b]  And it makes sense that there is an additional fee because not everyone uses it so those who don't shouldn't have to subsidize it.

I don't know what to say about being declined because you work at home.  Do you have any other options like a nanny share or an au pair share?[/quote]

My children have also always attended private. And aftercare is provided to anyone who signs up for it. To guarantee a spot you register when contracts are due, and they arrange for staffing. They certainly don't decide if we really "need" it. Frankly it is none of their business.

I don't understand why you think the school having to hire staff is a reason to let them off the hook? If the administration of my school found it that difficult to hire staff, I would seriously question the quality of the program, and/or their competence.

And, yes, of course there is an additional fee. No one is saying that there shouldn't be.[/quote]
