[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think facetime is that important. But 3:30 is WAY too early to leave. I still have a lot of meetings in the 4pm hour. I would be upset if my coworkers were all leaving that early. What about putting the kids in aftercare?

This is yet another reason it's ridiculous for the schools to have a significantly shorter day than working parents. Schools need to go until 4 or 4:30 to accommodate parents. [/quote]

Will you listen to yourself? That is a long day for kids. Why not put an effort into changing the culture of these offices? Everyone is clamoring for "family friendly" but when it comes down to it they want to preserve work at all costs and make kids pay for it. Work should be the flexible one here. It can happen but everyone is to busy being suckers. [/quote]

My kids' elementary school already dismisses at 4pm and it is a very long day for them.  Why should kids have to pay the price for parents wanting/needing to work later?  School is not daycare.[/quote]
