As an ex-teacher this rings alarm bells. Schools as cheap child care. But if they can do it without just expecting teachers to 'mind the kids', I also know the pressures on working parents. The bigger picture here is our insane world of debt. Both parents need to work these days just to afford a roof over their heads. Like daylight saving, this feels like a band aid that doesn't look at the real problem, which is people needing all this extra time at work.
