[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, enough already. As a pp posted, even if K started an hour or two earlier, it still wouldn't solve the child care needs of working parents (and I'm one fwiw.) most of us work 8 hours a day at minimum, plus commutes.... The point is that no one is ever going to design a 10-12 hour per day public school system, much less pay for one. So even if the county moved bus schedules around, you'd still be stuck paying for additional care.

I suspect some of the OP's outrage derives from the fact thatlike a lot of us, the OP may have bought into the myth that these things get easier and cheaper  once kids hit elementary school. Wrong! (okay, maybe it's a bit easier but there are all kinds of new costs .) Just wait till the OP figures out that summer camps can run into the thousands of dollars for a full summer and that many fill up by the end of January! Another conspiracy!!! [/quote]

You don't even believe what you are saying...  clearly a troll...  If school started an hour or two earlier it would solve a huge number of parents issues making some of them not need before care.  Having it at 0915 makes EVERYONE need before care.  Its all about timing.  Granted it wouldn't solve everyones problems but you can't please the whole world.

I'm not sure why you keep bringing up 10-12 hour school day and school is not a daycare.  I'm not suggesting longer hours at all.  I'm suggesting hours that are realistic based on how the world works.[/quote]
