while we long for a short schoolday with a long afternoon, the majority (in fact only 1 parent voted with me) of the parents voted for the child care services during lunch and a longer school schedule. too bad for us. the chance of a contiunous school schedule had now disappeared. but well, the school director also prefers the child care services at lunchtime as he thinks that a longer schoolday means more working hours. he is the expert so i should not grieve too much.
