Floating the school budget, on after school care

At least I suspect that is how they are trying balance the books.

The school is now charging 15000 per kid for after school care. No snack included, only until 4. Last year it was 9000 a month, with snack, until 5.

Drop in care, what I need!, is 320 and hour, per kid. I really can not pay 620 an hour while I go to the doctors... I did not even make that an hour after tax.

There is 15 kids to each adult supervisor. So with drop in kids, it is 9300 an hour per staff member? Or 225000 per month? Ya right! Working 3 hours a day? This was about Davíð's pay, working 50 hours a week as an electrician. I doubt they are paid more then 900, most likely 700.

Best part is, the town pays the school for every kid in after school care! It is not as though the parents are expected to pay the entire cost of running it.

So hundreds of thousands of kronor are paid to after school care, but clearly the money is going to something else.

Most likely trying to offset some of the cutbacks they got this year.

I understand there dilemma, but they have to understand that the run a school in a town of just student housing.

Why would they think that students can afford the extra cost?

And it ends earlier, a problem when most students have a very long bus ride to and from the city.

Piont:

Because of these insane costs, a lot of kids just go home to empty houses now.

It is a lot cheaper to give the kids cell phones and tell then to call if there is a problem.

and leave a snack on the table.
