  2. Some context? Is it an hour between 2 and 3 they’re providing or something?

    Back in my day you’d just wait in the car for an hour and get some homework done, and I’m not that old.

  3. Is this something most schools provide ? If it’s a matter of space is there any alternatives

  4. It’s such a load of bull from the BoM.

    My kids are in an ET school not a million miles away. The afterschool operates just fine even though the school is full. It’s not an issue unless you’re incredibly incompetent. There’s even separate afterschool extra curriculars like dancing and music offered by other providers in addition to the actual afterschool.

    The reliable care offered in the school itself is one of the things that makes every other aspect of life manageable. I see how colleagues who don’t have it in their kids school struggle and am very relieved I don’t have to.

  5. I really can’t understand why this is such a difficult issue for the school. They say they just don’t have the space anymore because they are introducing a 6th year class, but doesn’t each year get their own classroom? Are the classrooms for the younger kids just sitting empty after they are let out? Further proof that this country doesn’t give a flying fuck about its citizens. School hours across the country need to be adjusted so that all the kids start and finish at the same time.
