[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually, I believe in Arlington Co. schools, many parents do exactly this; from my understanding, afterschool through the schools doesn't have as strict requirements as FCPS does.  People can sort of do drop-in care and I understand there are a fair amount of SAH parents who send their kids to aftercare because they want to hang out with their friends.[/quote]

I'm a teacher in ffxco. This is not the norm in my high SES school. Parents have more money than they know what to do with. Most all of the kids are in SACC until the bitter end, 615. [b]All working parents, no trend of SAH parents signing their kids up. [/b]The SAP and AuPair/Nannies hang at the playground for a while after school while their kids play with other kids who have thr luxury to go home afterwards  ( and I'm saying this as a working mom myself). People do what they have to do, but the poster is correct, these kids are keeping adult career like hours, easily 9 hour days. As much fun as SACC is, the kids are absolutely spent.  Afterschool programs are not downtime.  It is noisy and is organized chaos. It is very stimulating after an already stimulating day.[/quote]

That's because SACC doesn't allow SAH parents to use SACC.  Arlington County does, though.[/quote]
