"school breakfast clubs now open at 6am...SIX in the MORNING, is atrocious."

Hadn't heard of that LC, but I have to say it sounds like quite a good idea to me. I've heard of after school study clubs, where children can get help with homework. I think that's a good idea too, especially if it means working parents don't have to find extra money for child care. I know you think school is a bad place based on your own personal experiences, and there will always be those who don't cope well, but it isn't for most.
