[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School here is too long. 
School is 4-5 hours max in EE in early grades with recess between each class. Kids get themselves to school and back, and learn just as much outside of school as they learn at school. Never heard of parents getting arrested for not being home when their school-aged kids are at home. School starts at 7 years of age and most 7-year olds can be trusted to themselves to school/home and be home alone. They also get themselves to after school activities. Most public schools are good; few kids travel longer than 20 minutes to school.[/quote]

That’s because people in the U.S. demand a free (yes, it’s free to you, no, your tiny percentage of property taxes that goes directly to public school comes nowhere *near* covering it) place to park their kids while they work. Most of them even jam their kids into aftercare to make their days even longer.[/quote]

Um no, capitalism demands that people work demanding hours. See the 40 page thread debating the Junior staffer who didn’t want to work after 6 pm. [/quote]
