My bum ass town at least had the sense to know the students parents are poor too, meaning some had both parents working. So instead of going home when school ended, we just went to another class that watched us until our parents got off work. We did hw, played games, had the playground all to ourselves, then went home. And it was free. I’m finishing up my Master’s and going for Ph.D eventually, but I get the sense that people look down on what I just said above. I’d rather a couple teachers get extra training (CPR, ect.) and more hours/pay than a single daycare/business charging a mortgage per kid.

And if the above seems not good enough for your kids, enjoy that mortgage payment that comes with a risk of Fentanyl overdose or E.Coli poisoning.
