The push for transforming schools into "one stop shops" has little to do with education, and more to do with child-minding for parents fixated on consuming and governments fixated on the economy. In the article ("Relief push for working parents, Herald Sun, Mar 18) the only mention of education was in the job titles. "One stop shop" schools as the centre of childcare, welfare and community resources (such a libraries) is a great idea - as long as it doesn't continue the trend where "real education" is a minor consideration among a range of social welfare purposes.
