That sounds more like daycare than school. Children don't need daycare. They should go to school to learn and at other times be out playing with other children. Teachers are supposed to be good at teaching, not good at looking after children. That's what the parents are for.

The point is that in practice not all parents do a good job.

Yes. Schools do a better job than some parents. Think heroin addicts who beat their kids up every night. There's no equivalent of that in schools.

What difference is going to school going to make it they beat them up every night? Some schools are way worse than any good parents.

Teachers may notice and get authorities involved.

> Some schools are way worse than any good parents.

True, that’s the other side of the coin.

I think most parents lack the resources to do the school’s job though. So there’s not much of a choice anyway.
