What a pant load. If they get up nice and early every day (whether they feel like it or not) and put in a good day’s work, then they’ll fall asleep when their head hits the pillow and can get to bed earlier.
Many people’s sleep pattern doesn’t jive with their employer’s requirements. Thus the snooze button. Easier to change your sleep pattern than the working world.
Maybe this is a push for school dinners too. And then there are the after school programs (debate team, sports, etc). So the kids get home what 8 or 9 and night and then start their honework assignments???
The whole article grated on me, but the statement that “we are asking parents to subsidize the school day” because they need to find childcare for after school was especially irritating.
Children belong to the parents, it is not the taxpayer’s responsibility to provide care during working hours.
Even before we homeschooled our kids I was there to take them to school and there to pick them up. They were my children, not wards of the state.
