Kamala Harris introduces new bill to make school days 3 hours longer

[ORDER_66]

Furthermore,

I can't see schools being responsible for dinner or extra food.

Getting a decent lunch and maybe breakfast is already a strain.


I'm not against after school programs, but I don't think school teachers shoukd be mandated to stay but so many additional hours.

Ain't no teachers staying from 8am to 6!!!

It would be nice to be able to drop them off at school. Go to work, get off work, pick up the kids from school and go home.
But the schedules are currently off. I work from 8 to 5. School gets out at like 3:30. So from a parent perspective. great.
Now as a student or a teacher. Are they making good use of that extra time?I worry that the kids will be too tired to care about learning after a while.
they probably end up giving them longer breaks and just lengthen the school with alot of nothing.
What they should do is just shorten the work day to match the school day. We already take an 1 hour lunches when you work full time anyways. Reduce that to 15 minutes and let me go home 45 minutes earlier. 4:15pm. Then add an extra hour of school just for them to work on homework instead of taking that shyt home. Best of both worlds.

This is actually a good idea


Still not voting for her.

Schools start way too early

Schools shouldn't open till 0900

Be having kids still sleepy in their classes and shyt

School should be from 0930 for 1st class to 1430

And summer break should be a week off each month in May, June, July, August

Instead of what summer break is now

A week off Thanksgiving and 2 weeks off Christmas

Dumb bytch

schools have after school programs and activities

So after 6pm , the students who play sports have to go to practice till 8 pm and get home at 8:30pm to have dinner and then start homework at 9:30 or 10 at night

get this wench out of here

How about a bill to shorten the workday instead? Everything after 4 hours per day should be OT

so people can actually live and have a better quality of life?

 

[DrexlersFade]

This big ain't dropped out yet that would help the parents though

 

[ThisIsLife]

Not much consideration for the kids or teachers with this. Yes, this is an easier solution, but how about looking at what can be changed in the job market to better fit parents, teachers and kids?

The corporations and governments on this planet wants us to be robots. Working long hours, when people should be paid more fairly.

Kamala wouldnt dare shorten the work day. It would piss off her corporate sponsors.

But extending the school day would lead to more violence and school shootings. It would backfire something legendary.

I understand what she is trying to do but I completely disagree with it. I don't like being stuck in an office for 9+ hours how do you think a kid is going to feel? Outside of that we have a list of concerns that come up for me. How often are meals going to be offered and what types? Now that kids are getting out later, what options will be available for transportation? If they are spending more time in school does that mean less or no homework? I personally would rather she focused on improving the school systems first. What good is extending the school day if the kids still aren't getting a proper education.

That’s not what she’s doing. She’s offering funds to help with after school programs etc.

It literally says she wants to extend elementary school hours by 3 hours and provide funding for summer programs.

They would need to hire more teachers for this to work.

Spend less money

The only way to influence the greedy is to affect their pockets.

 

[Wild self]

why aren't they working on bills to help people's salaries catch up to inflation? Get more people working 1 sustainable job and get them off of this 2 job/extra hours shyt.

She obvioulsy want people to be corporate slaves and suffer. It would only lead to more school shootings.

I dont have a problem with it if you give the kids another hour lunch/recess. And teach them some life skills with the extra time

basically shes helping working families pay less in childcare and keeping kids in a learning environment longer...
this is a plus... I pay 1k a month for an afterschool school for my kids...
they get picked up at 3 and stay there until 6-6:30 and have extra math, english, and science classes
their day school is always praising how far ahead they are compared to the other students...
this is the norm in other countries where education is a priority...

shorten the workday... when most people are getting paid hourly
