I like the idea. My neighborhood would be a lot quieter.
19th Century Sweatshops only worked children 12 hours/day, 6 days/week....
We’ve come a long way, baby....
We’re homeschoolers.
Our school is open, not only during “normal” school hours to satisfy the state’s requirements, but whenever we encounter a good learning opportunity.
IOW, the schools are primarily warehouses for children.

“America is under the leadership of not just left-wingers, but communists. You should no longer be afraid to use that word.”
Well, duhhhh..
I have been calling the regime “MARXIST” before it took office. So has Michael Savage.
I had one FReeper jump on me for using the term USSA, but that is what it has become, and it will get even worse.
Anyone that supports this regime should be referred to as neo-Marxist.
The writer would get more depth if he’d realized (or mentioned) that Betty Friedan was a Communist.
He’s an energetic homosexual.
it makes me sad that it has come to this!!
Abolish the socialist indoctrination centers.
Let the parents keep the tax money and be responsible for their children’s education.
I actually read another article quoting him as joking that the schools need to be kept open “13 months” a year—yep, the same thing that ran Greece into bankruptcy: bureaucrats getting paid for 14 months per year!!! Remember, it’s all about the teachers’ unions, folks, nothing more!
I think my kids’ band director already thinks this is the case. He has them up there practicing all the freakin’ time!
Communist goals number 17, 40 and 41 are applicable.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Further proof that the dept of education (like 75% of the rest of the fedgov) must be abolished
Why waste all that money hauling students home to sleep? Just give the parents visitation rights on holidays.
However, that said, I know several teachers who only became teachers because of the nice hours they have (I know, they work hard during the school year, they say)and have their summers off. They are not teaching because they love to teach. Besides, the Teachers' Union will never allow this. Bringing this up again is just a lot of noise for no reason other than some new nut wants attention and thinks she can change the system.
Interpretation:
Keep kids away from their parents as much as possible so Big Brother can brainwash them and turn them against their parents and the traditional values they teach.
About the same time Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique (New York: Norton, 1963), Helen Andelin was promoting an alternative view in Fascinating Womanhood (Santa Barbara, Calif.: Pacific Press, 1963) in which she argued that women will enjoy happier marriages if they embrace their traditional roles as wives and mothers.
Betty Friedan easily won the battle of the books. Her opus was published by a big New York firm and soon got the attention of America's cultural elite, while Helen Andelin's was put out by a mom-and pop press in a somnolent Southern California coastal town. However, Fascinating Womanhood has maintained a grassroots following and is still in print. For more information on the "Fascinating Womanhood" movement or Helen Andelin, surf over here.
