[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the compressed schedule is being pushed by the teachers (for their convenience) and hurts kid's learning. A longer school day with breaks and outdoor time is more pedagogically advantageous. Half-day school schedules also hurt work-life balance, particularly for women, and require more of the family's budget to cover the afternoon time, or forces women to work part-time (again, limiting women's participation in the workforce). [/quote] [b] So it all comes down to school as childcare, not what's best for the kids.[/b] [/quote] We have been telling you school is just glorified daycare forever. Yes, duh! If anything, parents would like kids warehoused from 7a to 7p and have an option to include dinner so all they have to do is wash them up and put them to bed. Why even have kids at that point????[/quote]
