Childcare and education are not the same, but for working parents the intersection is massive and unavoidable.

My question, phrased differently: given a scenario where both parents are away at work for 9 hours per day, and school is 6 hours per day, are the remaining 3 hours not in school more enriching for children than time in school?



Maybe it's better for students to have 2 hours of instruction and then 6 hours of studying with peers/clubs/etc than 8 hours of traditional schooling.
