[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at an ES that dismisses at 2:25 (Loudoun). The amount of students being picked up at that time by a parent (vs going to aftercare) has probably quadrupled since pre Covid. All those parents are then “working” with their young ES kids at home and no childcare for the remaining 3+ hours of their workday. Watch all the parents come here to defend it.[/quote]

If every kid needed aftercare, the demand increases and so do the prices. Most of the parents in my kid's cohort are SAHP, shift workers, or PT workers. I am the only parent I know in my kid's cohort that works from home FT. I work around pick up and drop off and walk my kid to/from school because transportation is not provided for kids living within 1.5 miles of the school in my county (ridiculous as that is).

You don’t need transportation if you use aftercare. And there aren’t suddenly 3-4x as many SAHP as 4 years ago. It’s obvious what is going on. [/quote]

Aftercare is full AND IT COSTS MONEY. Its more per hour than daycare and honestly, it is shi% care. You dont care about the kids, you think its unfair and you are bitter because you think someone else is getting a better "deal" or "scheming" the system.

And people 100% changed their shifts/jobs, decreased hours, or quit. Do you not remember COVID where there was NO support for working parents who had kids at home?
