RANT: Why do schools schedule everything at 2pm on weekdays?

Third-grade parent-teacher conference. 2pm on a Thursday. DURING A WORKDAY. How is this still a thing? Why can't schools do evening conferences or weekends? My company gives us 'flexibility' but taking 90 minutes off to drive across town, sit in a parking lot, and have a 15-minute meeting about how my son needs to focus better... it's infuriating.

And then I come back to 47 Slack messages. Anyway. Just needed to complain about this archaic system. /rant
