It's a disaster, and it's very much a part of a system trying to separate families. Children are suffering, and it needs to stop. My kids were only in regulars schools for maybe 2 years, but we did have a few teachers who really got it and realized that children don't need to be in class all day and then go home to more. It's absurd. I had one teacher tell me that if she couldn't teach them in class then she wasn't doing her job. I'm almost certain that a lot of it is just an effort to dominate and control children and even their parents. It's shameful.
