[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overnight shift for a growing child who needs to be in school? No breaks?

That's inhumane. [/quote]

It prevents any success in high school. Quite possibly keeps the kid from graduating from HS. But some parents will pressure kids to do it anyway to survive economically— especially as the effect of tariffs and boycotts hit and we hit full recession.

But then, maybe FL is actually forward thinking. Create a permanent underclass trap to replace immigrants. American citizen kids whose parents can’t earn enough to survive/ can’t go to work for fear of ICE raids and work full time overnight in high school to put food on the table. Must sleep sometimes and dont get a real education/ even a high school degree. Continue their whole lives in minimum wage jobs, can’t have abortion, limit access to cheap, safe effective birth control. Destroy the social safety net and blame 16 year olds for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps and supporting their families while pulling good HS grades.  Pop out more kids than they can afford and send those kids into the fields at 14, instead of them getting an education. Rinse. Repeat.

Ron DeSantis is a frigging genius! (Pardon me while I go puke. A full shift with no meal break for 16 year olds?). [/quote]

Not really, I graduated near the top in my class.  We had a banquet for the top ten; the waitress knew my name at the banquet.  Everyone wanted to know why she (who happened to be a high school dropout but they didn't know that ) knew my name.  I had worked there since before I was old enough to drive, 14 hours a week during the school (except basketball season), 40+ during the summer, holidays etc.

I'm thinking I'll probably try to do something like that with my kids.  Looking back, I should have stuck with those jobs instead of going to college.  It would have been easier to get managerial/business experience, and I wouldn't be stuck in one of these dead-end cubicle jobs in a low standard of living area like DC.  Work experience is great for young adults.[/quote]
