[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i feel for the OP. dropping off your kids shouldn't be THIS hard. the school should work with this mom, not against. sorry, it's trite, but it does take a village. our DCPS starts at 8:45, but parents are allowed to drop kids off as early as 8:15 for supervised play on the playground. that's still too late for my family, so my DH takes our DS at 7:15 and we pay for beforecare. it's cheap, though....$25/week (plus we pay another $100/week for aftercare). but we only have 1 kid. i don't think i'd like to shell out double the money for such a brief time. this is PUBLIC school! bottomline, this principal should be more flexible. i am thankful that our school is.[/quote]

Are you seriously suggesting that the principal should allow parents to leave their minor children unsupervised on the playground while there is construction going on?  What happens if a kid get hurt or wanders away from the playground.  As to supervised play, who do you suggest should do the supervising?  Teachers?  Should they be made to come to school early just bc a few parents are having a hard time with scheduling - what if they have kids.

Op, needs to work with what is available to her, for example:
1.  Pay for before care
2.  Drop off older kid first or have older kid get to school some other way
3.  Join a car pool
4.  Get a neighbor/friend to help out
5.  Drop her kids off at Starbucks have them sit there until 8:30 and then walk over to school together (I kid).
