[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here-

The fact that this has been going on for years is besides the point when A) I'm not from the area and B) This is my first child and C) I know of other school in the county that do not start this late.

Saying its a scam was part of the whole rant but don't take that seriously but it seems to me that it would be easier if the younger kids went earlier since they need supervision and the older kids went later since they don't.  Having a five year old got at 915 forces almost every parent to do before and after care whereas a start an hour earlier would not.

Bonbons...  I'm the father not at all a housewife.  But the whole point of the thread is that if you don't work you can take your kids at anytime.  If both parents do you are screwed.

Both myself and my wife work far and start work around 7AM.  Either of us could adjust to later hours but not after 0915!  School is only 5 minutes away so bus will not help.[/quote]

That is a choice you make, to both work.

As others have noted, if you're just encountering the schools for the first time, you're going to be in for a shock at just how much they expect from parents during the school day. [b]The schools rightly expect that one parents is home during the day, because that is common.[/[/b]quote]

Common in 1955, perhaps.[/quote]
