[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of shocked. This is an excellent, free school system. It is not their job to worry about your commute. Their sole focus needs to be the good of the kids. Your child care arrangements are your own problem.[/quote]

Well, they spend a hell of a lot of time and money on feeding and helping kids from disadvantaged backgrounds through free lunches and food/presents during the holidays. I don't begrudge that but this late start time is very hard on all families.

At my child's Tier 2 school last year, with a 9:15 start, there were many many kids dropped off at 8:45 by parents who had to scramble into work. The school has a holding area between a set of doors. No one was supposed to be there before 8:50 but many flouted that rule and had to leave their kids there, unattended. It's going to be even worse and earlier this coming year.

We make a decent living but the extra $400 a month we now have to pay for before care, on top of aftercare, is really going to hurt. [/quote]
