California Sen. Kamala Harris has introduced legislation meant to keep many U.S. schools open until 6 p.m.
The thinking goes something like this: In most public schools around the country, the school day starts around 8 a.m. and ends at about 3 p.m.
According to Harris, this poses a problem for parents who work 9-to-5 jobs and can't afford to pay for child care between the time their kids get off school and they get off work.
