[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So apparently every public elementary school in my vicinity begins at 09:15..  I'm actually shocked that this is even allowed considering that 99% of normal jobs begin no later than 9:00.   I mean my job is flexible but come one...  Its like  a scam to get EVERYONE to pay before care.  Has anyone made a fuss about this?[/quote]

We're a two working-parents family with elementary-aged kids who are walkers with a 9:15 start time.  Luckily, there's before (and after care) at our school.  My husband drops off two days at before care/I pick-up on those days at dismissal; then we reverse it for the two days I drop off and he goes into work (very) early so that he can pick-up the kids at their 3:30 dismissal.  One of us is either working from home or off every other Friday -- so we're covered on the 5th day.  On the bright side, because the kids are in before-care on the 4 days we always work, we're covered when there's a delayed opening (with school not starting until 11:15!) and on the many "non-holidays" when schools are closed.  Yes, people have made a fuss about this and probably will continue to do so.  But that's all it is:  vent, come back to reality, and find a solution that works best for your family.  OP, it looks to me that you're in phase 1, so:   I feel your pain; amen; you're preaching to the choir.          [/quote]
