[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Truly amazing that a public official, or anyone in a taxpayer-funded position, is referring to school as "free" babysitting. I am about as far left as they come and that makes even me twitchy. There is nothing "free" about public school, and I am exhausted by the continued argument that childcare is not one of the stated purposes and goals of public education. It is. It's not free, and it's not "babysitting". It is paid for by taxes and it is a necessary public function, as essential to society as running water or hospitals. All these people calling parents entitled because they are struggling to get by without [i]an essential public utility[/i] are really showing their a$$es.[/quote] +1 Unbelievable. Except, unfortunately, totally believable.[/quote]
