How high is this on maslow's pyramid of needs?

[tbw2]

1. Poor kids who don’t have parents taking care of them and don’t come to school dirty/messy.
2. The kids who got dirty on the way to school after being beat up and preferred to go home and stay there instead of coming back in.
3. The teenaged mothers who could either muck through class and then chores or come to school and have chores done by others
4. The poor kid who pooped/peed on themselves and otherwise would go home and stay there can now get it washed/cleaned up before class

A friend had a renter with kids who received housing and clothing vouchers. The renter didn’t know how to run a washer or dryer. They would wear their clothes until they got dirty and throw them away. Clothing vouchers would pay for the replacement clothes.

The same renter was responsible for mowing the lawn. She didn’t know mowers needed gas and oil. My friend ended up doing the mowing so no one got hurt.

The rental house was trashed when they (thankfully) left.

An amazing outcome, not one that I would have expected. But exactly who is doing the laundry?

[MomwithHope]

I may just start responding on threads with a haiku -

We'll pay for the soap
And the labor to clean clothes
So what will they learn?

Good grief...Laundry at school......O.K., I guess?????

How far are we now from the schools being actual homes for these (unwanted) kids? They are eating two meals a day there and now getting their laundry there. In many instances, they are getting their supplies donated to them via charities and donations.

I am thinking, it's getting pretty close to adding dormitories, beds and calling it done.

And many of the "parents" (read: mothers) would be thrilled to be rid of the trouble. They could go back to posting selfies, taking drugs and hooking up with different men.

Maybe if we sent maids to clean their rooms while they were in class or to make them gourmet meals attendance would increase!

Progress on the Democratic Plantation ... slaves have clean clothes now.

And as usual, the spectacularly loser parents are not brought upon negligence charges.

When I was in the Navy on a ship, the way we got our clothes washed was by putting them in a bag like the one below with our name and dept on it, then it was picked up and dropped off. It it means kids can feel better about showing up for school then great but we still need to get the lib-prog brainwashing (slight pun) and indoctrination out of schools altogether. It could even be part of a larger program about taking care of oneself. It's amazing how many kids grow up without some very basic skills because no one was around to show them or their parents were just lazy.

did any actually do better in their studies? just taking up space does not produce lasting results.

Who’s paying for the heated water, electricity, supplies and launderers?
