IN response to Tracey Simpson-Laing's letter about extended school hours (June, 22) I have a question.

What about the father of her child? Surely, he should be helping to look after his child and, between the pair of them, the need to utilise the after-school club would be severely reduced.

Perhaps if Tracy cut back on work and studies she may have more time for her child. No one asked her to be Superwoman.
