as TWAK said earlier, public schools serve BOTH roles for our society. it's not just only one or the other; there's no need for myopia like that.
and anyone who's ever been a single parent, or part of a 2 working parent household, FULLY understands this dual-role nature of public schools.
if that's sad, then our entire society is sad.

Couldn’t agree more. School serves the role of caring for children AND educating them. Most educators have understood this from the beginning, with only a few snowflakes finding the idea that it is their job to do BOTH offensive.
It has been that way from the beginning. The only way we ever had two working parents was with the idea that kids would be in school all day. Get over it, that’s just the deal that society made with schools eons ago.
