[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can imagine she is biased by seeing the saddest cases everyday.  And certainly it’s true we need more aides to facilitate inclusion, and we need to prioritize the class not being constantly interrupted by out of control kids.  But I have one in public and one in private for individual kid reasons, and I haven’t seen big differences in kid behavior in either one.  We are at a pretty wealthy public school though, with lots of parent involvement.  The 50 hour a week comment is strange, I’ve only seen data about that for daycare.  She might be a bit paranoid and helicoptering again probably due to what she sees in terms of extreme kid behavior through her job, or could just be her own anxiety.   [/quote]

Kids who go to before and after care, like from 7 am-5 pm five days a week, are definitely getting raised by non-parents the majority of their waking hours on weekdays.  I can see where SIL is reluctant to sign on for that with her kindergartner even though many parents have no problem with the hours, or insist that teachers and daycare workers are not actually "raising" their kids, etc.[/quote]
