See this, what does this mean? Elementary education seems the furthest thing from their space. Why not start hotels or restaurants or hospitals or grocery stores? Those have about as much overlap with WeWork (uses physical space) as elementary education does.
The only thing that seems to make sense is that parents at WeWork can more easily drop their kids there? But it seems like daycare would be 10x more useful, since it’s already expensive and hard to find in big cities, whereas elementary school is universal and free. Granted, some people are going to want to pay for private school but that’s a minority of parents, whereas basically all parents of infants and toddlers are paying for childcare one way or another.
I don’t get it.
I should have made myself clearer by explaining what "space" I was referring to. I wasn't referring to any sort of educational space, I was strictly referring to the abundance of co-working spaces these days, especially "cool" ones. WeWork is the archetype of the cool (and expensive) co-working space.
The area I live in has an abundance of these types of workspaces. It's almost comical. One of the newest (it hasn't completed construction yet) is advertising a creche. I thank my lucky stars that I'm in a privileged enough position that I (currently) earn enough that my partner can stay home and be the primary carer of our daughter whilst I go and work in my studio/workshop in an unfashionable (but surely up-and-coming) part of our city.
