[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've gotta say as someone who will need aftercare, this seems absolutely insane. For 2-working-parent households not having aftercare is largely not an option. How can DC not provide it to everyone at least for a fee? I have never heard of that anywhere else.[/quote]

It's not easy to find people who want to work roughly 3-6pm, less than 180 days a year, for what aftercare pays, and who can pass a background check. And who would actually show up.[/quote]

And yet every other community I'm familiar with manages it. This seems to be a uniquely DC issue and a deeply backwards loop loop one at that. Daycares are open until 6 because obviously you need childcare until then if you work a 9-5, as most do. Shouldn't it be an axiomatic for public schools to do the same?[/quote]

I don’t think this is true.  My sister is in a different state and her child’s aftercare is constantly having staffing issues.  Quite frankly I think they are just out of compliance in terms of ratio of adult to student otherwise they would have to kick some kids out of aftercare.[/quote]

Pp is talking about DC schools. Most schools in DC are not having this issue right now.[/quote]

No PP said this seems to be a ‘uniquely DC issue’.  I replied with an anecdote to the contrary.  You replied with no helpful information at all.[/quote]

It seems uniquely a LAMB issue at this point.[/quote]

They’re a complete disaster and seem to be totally out of ideas. The only chances they made are adding a bunch of half days. ADDING HALF DAYS.

Unprofessional, disorganized, and a total mess[/quote]

Then why are you staying there? It seems like it's not working for you. [/quote]
