[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason DCOS can do that is that they do t run school buses. Unfortunately not an option in MoCo unless they switch elementary to start early, which I would support but many other don’t. [/quote]

If ES started at 7:45 and got out at 2:30, many more thousands of seats in aftercare would be needed.[/quote]

Not sure how many times you need to hear this before you get it but school is not your free daycare service. Don’t rely on school before having children. Do research. Make sure you can afford it. I’m a parent and I’m so tired of this… it makes the rest of us look bad. Most of us have shit together. [/quote]

I just do not understand this line of thinking. You either 1) Provide free or affordable aftercare through the school, 2) Only allow people to have children who have flexible jobs and/or can afford a stay at home parent or 3) Force everyone to find a nanny for the hours of 2-5? Which one should a functioning society choose? [/quote]

There are not enough after school care seats at most schools so it would be an issue as those after care programs struggle to get staff as its not a full time job someone can life off of.  They often hire high school and college students to work them.[/quote]
