[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in a high FARMS school. The majority of students have at least one adult in the home that stays home and doesn't work. Sometimes it's mom, sometimes it's dad, sometimes it's an older sibling, sometimes it's a grandma or grandpa or another member of the extended family. Sometimes the working parent works at night and the only time they get to see their child is the time between when the child gets home from school and the parent needs to go to work. Very few families at my school work 9-5 jobs. This is something that is really not aimed at low income families. As it is typical in education, the people making the decisions know jack sh*t about the realities of schools. [/quote]

true

In my 20+ years in a large system, the mother or the grandmother is home.  Or there's an aunt or an older sibling.

We sometimes think money grows on trees.  This will run out eventually.  And even if the young teachers - looking for extra income - step in, there won't be enough of them to handle the numbers.  So they'll have to outsource. translation - more $

Have you seen some of the after-school programs?  We think we have problems now with abuse, well, think again.  MCPS has already lowered the criteria for hiring subs.  And teacher certification is a joke, especially with the Praxis.  So you can imagine who will be with these kids - many who misbehave simply b/c they're damn tired.

a recipe for disaster

But who am I but a lowly educator . . .

Kamala is an idiot who doesn't understand that money runs out. [/quote]

So funny, all this 'money grows on trees' stuff.  Funny that the USG has money to subsidize Viagra for dirty old men through medicare, money to buy more weapons.  As a woman and a taxpayer, I'd like to see my tax dollars used for something that I could actually benefit from.[/quote]

Actually the USG has money for neither.

As a woman and a taxpayer, I’d like the USG use my taxpayer money more responsibly all around.  No free, low-qualify mandatory daycare and no Viagara for dirty old men.  Thanks.[/quote]
