$1/min = paying for the privilege

My kids’ old preschool must have read Freakonomics and instead charged $5/min. My wife once fell asleep and was charged $90 for being 18 min late (I got a call at 6). At least it wasn’t $5/min/kid (2 kids).

Mostly, if parents were running late, they’d ask another parent to check out their kid and watch them for a few.

There’s the real incentive. If you don’t show up some other weirdo parent has access to your kid.
