A big problem with this is that it effectively means parents will have to pay for childcare throughout elementary school. Instead of getting a full day of childcare with a slight aftercare supplement for a couple hours, they would need to spend much more.

If nothing else, this pandemic has shown that [b]school is primarily for childcare and other social functions[/b]. Logistically, it’s also more difficult because you’re transporting children more frequently. [/quote]

This is one of the hundred reasons I choose to homeschool.[/quote]

+1 Homeschooling is a tremendous economic privilege. Glad you can swing it, if that's right for your family, but as an option for society it's terrible and your "I got mine" attitude is shocking. [/quote]

NP - Please, everyone I know that homeschools makes tremendous economic sacrifices to do it.  They purposefully choose a lifestyle that is doable on one income.  That is not privilege, that is planning.[/quote]

DC is one of the most expensive areas of the country. If you can afford to live on one income, you are privileged. Yes, it might mean the difference between a 1600 square foot bungalow in Historic Takoma Park (sacrifice!) and a 2000 square foot house in Bethesda (luxury!) but it's still privilege. [/quote]
