      It roughly lines up with morning shifts, I guess? When I was working at a grocery store our morning shift was like 6-3 with an hour lunch. I don’t know how you make sure your kids actually go to school if you’re at work by 6, though… And if you work evenings (or overnights, for places that are still open 24 hours) it doesn’t help at all.

          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.
