The economic pressure to keep these public institutions are enormous - legislation may be brought up that once again allows this — if the eCenters cannot be built to accommodate children with 2 working parents - then parents are going to have to place their child with someone — it might be a agreement that has no pay attached to it - but where each household has a wireless connection - and it’s agreed that each parent (say 5 families) is there to be an adult that is present...nothing more...
I cannot see how the present sate of the both state and federal govt can maintain this expenditures on institutions that are not educating children - but only is a place for them to temporarily go during the day to hang out and self-teach through electronic programs...
I think someone in the trust of this was watching Star Trek!
They close at the first sign of a snow flake, They have long summer and holiday vacations, and the kids only get 6 to 7 hours. In some states, ( Maryland was one when we lived there) the teachers have a “preparation” hour so Wednesday was even shorter than the rest.
Honestly...If parents need day care I am confident that private vouchers schools ( institutional or home-based) could do a far better job of doing both schooling and day care than any government school in our county.
