O hell naw. Now im all for better education. Especially in black areas. But you not gonna make the school day longer and expect kids to just put up with that. Stop trying to make school a daycare. Kids go to school to learn, Not because their parents can't afford a babysitter.

There's already reports saying that work diminishes after 5 hours. And these are grown ass people who work for a living. The hell u think the attention span is of a elementary-high school kid?

But it seems this isn't about making the school day longer. It's about funding more after school activities. And that im all for.

Whether this is a good idea or not I honestly think this was coming from a good place
:hubie:

Having school align with parents work hours would be beneficial to a lot of parents.

what legislation could a president do to enact ALL of those things?

Plenty. Make sure that no one spends more than 20% of their check on rent/mortgage AFTER taxes.

Make sure that the re structured budget so that infrastructure makes it easier for smoother commutes and make people work from home if needed to be.

...... so you're saying push for rent control and low income housing?
as far as infrastructure... do you mean pushing for federally funded public transit along with a voucher system?

Public transit that resembles Japan or any Western European Country. We several decades behind.

:dahell: Man if this bytch dont the fukk outta here




:dahell:Kids attention span aint that damn long to extend school hours for three more

:dahell:Youd be lucky if you get em to focus for four




:dahell: Teachers tryna gt the fukk outta there also and they aint no damn daycare center ,they there to teach your fukkin child




:dahell:Takes away time from the teacher to develop a learning plan and gives them less sleep


:dahell: If they dont get time to develop a lesson plan and have less sleep you gonna get less than proper schoolin


:dahell: And if the child aint getting the proper schoolin you gon be pissy with the teacher














:dahell:
Did you read the description? Some of what you’re saying makes sense, but most of it looks like you didn’t actually read it. It would be more like adding free mandatory daycare/after school programs not run by the teachers (unless they want to for additional pay), not extending the actual “learning” day.

The only thing is they would have to give parents the option to pick their students up before 6 for outside extracurricular activities

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

Dope ideas.

I don't there should be a summer break. Let schools out for 2 weeks each season.

2 weeks in June.
2 weeks in September.
2 weeks in December.
2 weeks in March.

There's more than enough holidays to put these adjacent to, to make it work.

Getting to school at 7-730 is too early. 9 is cool. I think everything should revolve around the parents schedule to an extent. Obviously you can't accommodate everyone.

That’s not what she’s doing. She’s offering funds to help with after school programs etc.
Actually it is what she is doing elementary schools. She’s offering money extra money for schools with a high population of low-income students.

This is a good idea this basically would be an after school program. Teachers wouldn't have to be a part of it, so they would be hiring people for these positions, that's jobs right there.
