That assumes a single school employee covers the entire span. Our school in NYC had different shifts — so 7am class teachers were not the same ones doing late afternoon classes.

To me this sounds line a great way to give teachers non-curricular overtime pay. It’s good for all parties involved to have a face-to-face relationship, and a way for our public school teachers to supplement their income if they so desire.

That sounds great, but where is that extra money to pay the teachers going to come from? Propose raising property taxes to cover things like this and a large portion of the people wanting this will suddenly vanish.

That sounds great. Property values will vanish too and be realistic instead of the current bubble in some areas of the US. cough silicon valley.
