    What about 9-5s? Does your rationale just fall apart there?

    Do you think you may be parroting wrong information just because everyone else is?

    Do you think it’s more likely to be a monetary issue, such as funding transportation for all students at once vs. staggering them?

      My rationale for what? 9-5s were covered by implication in the comment I was replying to: if you work 9-5, it’s kind of awkward that the kids get off at 3. I was just saying that if you work mornings it’s kind of awkward that you probably have to leave before the kids do, and if you don’t work during the school day then the kids aren’t at school while you work.

      Not sure what I’m parroting. The topic of this subthread is Grammaton Cleric’s assertion that “kids need to be at school while parents work,” so I’m just mentioning that for a lot of parents that already isn’t the case.

      I don’t have an opinion on times they “should” be at school.

        My rationale for what?

        Your rationale for why kids need to be at school so early.

        The initial comment said: “Because kids need to be at school while parents work”

        OP mocked them by saying, sarcastically: “Right, so they get home at 3pm, makes perfect sense”.

        Then you replied to him in defense of the first rationale, by trying to say it lines up with morning shifts.

        I then said, what about 9-5s, a common non-morning shift.

          I wasn’t defending kids being in school so early. I was just musing that it sort of lines up better than it does with 9-5s. Which is probably incidental.
