Unfortunately they turned schools into glorified daycares so they always say it "endanger" students to let them off early or get to school after parents go to work.
Maybe sync school and work schedules? Why does this sound so crazy? It's hugely disruptive that these schedules are different.
A lot of GOP politicians are trying to get kids back to work and out of school, so I guess they're technically doing their part.
If they weren't so fucking ~~stupid~~ evil they could make a lot more money.
Because you can't sync all work schedules. It would create crazy traffic, even more than it is now.
That and a lot of jobs in the service sector would mean you can't go shopping after work, can't bring your car to the garage, or even get medical care at the hospital.
Schedules should be staggered instead.
You can't sync all work schedules but you can match the mode.
Not sure why you think taking kids to school separately and then driving to work is less traffic?
Jobs could still be open later but maybe those jobs would be less attractive to people with kids.
It wouldn't be a world halting event. It would just mean less traffic, less money spent on childcare, and less stress for families.
France does something somewhat close to this / at least makes an effort to minimize the wide gap between work and school start and end times.
here they staggered all the school start times so parents with lots of kids can spend their entire day dropping off and picking up kids. we'd just have them walk or bike (and i'm fine biking there, there's a bike lane), but some idiot decided to build these schools on their own little complex a mile down the highway (speed limit: 65mph/105kph)
