[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be done for the benefit of the parents and not the children. Let's be honest about that at least.[/quote]

100% yes. [/quote]

+1. Nobody is talking about what would be best for the CHILDREN! Yes, sure, just leave them in jail, I mean, school for 10 hours !!!! a day. Who needs free time to be kids, to participate in family activities, to just be bored at home!?? Do you all really think it would be healthy for a kid to spend 10 hours in a building a day???

This isn’t aimed at UMC kids that go home to a safe neighborhood and food on the table.
It’s geared towards kids that live in low income areas. Going home usually means going home to a parent or sibling that is drunk or high, with no supervision, no help with homework, etc. I see these kids daily. Unbathed, dirty clothes. Living off the free breakfast and lunch. Our schools sends home bagged lunches on weekends for the poor kids. They provide coats and hats and gloves.
But the school can only do so much. 30 hours out of week they are in warm, safe environment. It’s not much.

And who do you think it's contributing big time for the destruction of the families in this country?? Have you read Brave New World?[/quote]
