Should schools have to provide more than an education?
Increasingly, schools are providing before and after care, and breakfast as well as lunch. Should our schools be filling this childcare role, as well as their primary purpose of educating our kids?

Schools need to support parents and children.
Schools should only teach.
Parents lean on schools to much to do all the things they don't want to do.
-- Posted By Pacific-Writer on September 13, 2007For example they want schools to feed their children in the morning and afternoon. They want them to care for their children after school and they want to schools to teach them everything about life. .
Teachers already have to do enough "babysitting" from 8-3pm. Childcare is a totally different arena.
-- Posted By flippinsweet on September 13, 2007We rely on schools too much to provide free childcare from 8-3pm. Even though parents usually pay for before/after care, it's a fraction of what "real" daycare costs. As a teacher, I used to have most of my before/after school time, which was supposed to be my prep time, (and most of the time I wasn't paid for it) eaten up by kids who came to school too early and stayed too late.
