[quote=Anonymous]NP, this topic interests me every time it is brought up, and it should be brought up again and again. It is not SOLVED. If someone gave me this crap solution at work I would tell them it is sub-par and not the best we can do for our clients. Why are we settling for this?

We already know the problem is systemic, but how do we begin to unravel? We really need to think big, and have a greenfield approach. That means clean slate.

Why are older kids taking care of siblings? Can a school system provide that for free? If people don't like "school" doing that, let's call the system a "youth" system. It is for education, enrichment, and corresponds with a working household schedule. How can sports and homework fit in? Do we need a better system of homework that is not "grind" but teaches valuable independent skills? Can those independent skills be taught during school (youth) hours?

Can we move to 4 day weeks in standard "youth" and "work" schedules? Maybe move large sports activities to the 5th day?

The current system is based on so. many. things. that just do not factor in anymore. Why don't we have great minds working this out? And yes, who IS the confederacy of imbeciles who want status quo? Is it power? Money? Complacency? We need to ask ourselves these questions. [/quote]
