Depends on the job, industry, and location, of course. I just think it should be a full day’s worth of education.
Who works from nine to five? Journalists? Slackers?
In the real world people work from eight to five. Minimum.
8 to 5 works for me, too.
I work about 9am to 8pm on average, personally. But it’s not all about me,
The public high school in my area has classes from 7:35 am until 2:09 pm. The historical reasons for the early start and dismissal times is to allow 2.5 hours a day for extra-curricular activities and/or a large block of time to work part-time, and still have a few hours for homework.
Don’t you know that Carl Perkins appropriated the sounds of black music and for added effect picked cotton as the son of a tenant farmer?
When those teens are using electricity (or FTM fire) to make artificial light from sundown on, “naturally” has nothing to do with the case.
Perkins Pancake House is RACIST!!!
Why would they need child care?
If you are old enough to go to school by yourself you are old enough to know how to get off the bus, go in the house and take care of yourself for a couple of hours.
Kids used to do this all the time.
But before electric lights, they went to sleep at sundown, not 11pm.
Exactly.
And it does indeed still revolve around century-old lifestyles - having to farm, AND mom being home.
Why was mom home? Because she didn’t HAVE to “work” for money to pay up the taxes. There was no income tax.
Get rid of income tax.
Our private school solves the problem of kids taking care of themselves.
They don’t have any buses. Transport is completely up to us. Our son lives close by the car, but far by the walk. So, he’s stuck there.
Well, we also have school day-care to make up the difference.
Not child care. That’s not my intention. Just get them used to a full day’s work.
If the Center for American Progress is involved, I guarantee there is a very bad ulterior motive.
“...you can spend those last few moments of life wishing you did something besides working...”
Oh, no. I will be wishing I had worked more overtime. /s
John Podesta’s think tank, funded by Soros.
It’s bound to be an effort to reduce the amount of time children get with their parents and neighbors or some such thing.
They should work for a short time and then have a good amount of time for play.
Even back in the 1700's kids did not go to school all day and yes they had time to play.
Kids are not little robots to be programed.
A few more hours at school, with built-in time for homework and activities, is not overwhelming and there’s still time to relax and play.
Ours was 7:35 to 3. I don’t live there and have no kids so I don’t know if they still do.
I used to walk in first grade but I admit to being older then dirt.
Students in my town worked local farmer’s horseradish fields in spring and after school in the fall, processed the stuff … horseradish was grown from the previous year’s rootstock....Others worked at the grainery for extra cash, and some plowed people’s driveways in winter with their 4 wheel drive trucks.
Reagan was president so it must have been his fault.
