Just that really, though it would be interesting to see.

I was chatting to a friend of mine in the USA and her dc start school at 8.30 and finish and finish at 3.30 and they have an hour lunch.

I’m in Ireland and my dc start primary school at 8.40, finish at 2.20 they have a half hour for lunch
The school I work in starts at 9.00 and finishes at 2.40 (half hour lunch break)

What are your dc’s hours and what country are you based in?
