[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School is partially childcare, and we should run with that instead of chanting "school isn't childcare" and hoping that becomes true.

School programming should be available at least 9 to 5 if not longer. It shouldn't all be mandatory or in the classroom but we need to accommodate working parents and we need provide the supervision and enrichment activities that lower income working parents cant/won't.  Our society would be much better for it. [/quote]

School is not and schools not be childcare. Cities should be required to make truly affordable, high quality enrichment programs available after school hours to any family who chooses to enroll their children. This would allow us to decrease school hours for younger students.

I'm curious why it's so important to you that they be separate. If you are OK with the government subsidizing childcare / enrichment, why not have those activities at and as a voluntary extension of school? [/quote]
