[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Warehousing of kids, overseen by surly (and sometimes sketch teenagers) without zero adults around : my experience at every camp aftercare.

And aftercare in general, school and camp, definitely reenacts Lord of the Flies. [/quote]

this is wildly untrue. 
at our private the aftercare is classes and sports. at camp it's extra sports. granted those are 'nice' options but I toured a public middle for my oldest one and their aftercare is 2 activities (sports or classes). Idk where you guys are sending your kids that the aftercare is so terrible but mine given the option choose aftercare rather than going home early even if given the option bc that's what their friends are doing and where they hang out rather than being alone on ipad.

Uh, yeah private school aftercare is probably quite pleasant. You don't get the discipline problems and overcrowding of a public school. The public after cares we went to all had published agendas for "fun" but in reality it all went out the windows after an hour.

No idea why this became an anti daycare thread; several hours with involved caregivers with play time, nap, and a meal is healthy and even SAHM send kids to preschool. It’s the 9 hours of warehousing with underpaid workers and overstimulated kids, that is the issue — and if you want to work at least a full 8 hours you need 9 hours of care, and most careers really need more than 8 hrs to thrive. And of course that still means zero personal time. [/quote]

It sounds like it became an anti daycare thread because you started posting this garbage[/quote]
