Some families alternate a full week with a partial week. Either way, their schedule must be turned in on Friday before the upcoming week so I can plan meals and activities accordingly. I don't allow additions to the week if it impacts my plans (my parents know AND understand this reasoning...I think because they ARE teachers)
......if I can work it, I will allow it.
I don't mind having a lighter load now and then and I also don't mind having the same kids the same days all year long.
Either way, my paycheck is still the same 
Pretty much a ditto. I am open 6-6 and parents may use any of those hours if they wish. But I must know in advance.
