When I was in high school, I don't remember a pop vending machine. You got the slop from the lunch lady with a half pint of milk, or you brown bagged it.
Ha!
It sounds like a good way of providing opportunities to special needs kids to learn how to apply themselves to jobs and understand what’s needed to run a small business.
Maybe your school didn’t have special needs students. This school school should be commended for opportunities for special needs students. Their goals may not be yours but they are helping many students.
“”””””When people think about school coffee shops, they think, you know, they serve coffee, but it’s a full-blown coffee shop,” Sinor said.
The shop will be up and running later this year and open Monday through Friday for students and teachers.””””””
Promoting coffee to high school age kids by putting coffee shops in schools? Remember when they started handing out free condoms to the boys?
Are they considering installing some cigarette or pot machines, maybe rent small bedrooms by the hour.
Conflating coffee with condoms and pot seems very weird to me.
(Are you some kind of Mormon?)
I don’t remember sodas or coffee being available to the students either. Definitely not a coffee bar. There were no drinks in the classroom so other than lunch, I am not sure when you could drink soda or coffee. We did have candy machines.
Amen!
Why is that mean?
It is actually a good idea.
IMHO teens should have at least a couple of jobs before they graduate. It teaches them things like showing up on time, how to start the day, how to clean up at the end, why you don't put things off and how you not doing your job hurts your fellow employees that have to pick up your slack.
And to the people who want to talk about how service industry jobs are "dead end jobs" no. They are not. If you get to be good at the job you end up in shift management, then in shop management and then with your own territory.
Ask the son of a friend of mine who is making quite good money in his early twenties because he decided to go make pizzas.
I thought you had to have a college degree to be a barista.
Wow what an interesting life you can have in the dough business. Fascinating.
In Athens, GA there is a mobile coffee cart company that provides coffee for events. It’s called “Java Joy”. The employees are really sweet and they do a great job. This gives them a sense of accomplishment and a paycheck both.
There is also a coffee shop in town that is owned by the parents of a autistic child. They employee handicapped staff in their shop. I think the name is “Bitty and Beau’s”
A coffee shop training program in high school gives these students skills and experience. Those skills can apply to several retail type jobs. It’s much like the old business or shop classes we had years ago.
I think it is a great idea.
The senior highs around here (11-12 or 10-12) offer some nice options at lunch - at least at campuses where the students can leave for lunch if they want to. None of the MOOSEchelle approved meals.
The left pushes pot on America, the left really did, or does issue condoms to the high school boys, and the left has now installed coffee shops in schools, we used to keep coffee from kids, throw in the graphic sex classes and homosexual/trans promotion while at the same time removing history and prayer and patriotism, and it is just startling what schools have become.
Sorry, it seems a little nuts to compare a coffee shop that’s teaching kids work skills with illegal stuff, graphic sex, etc.
You just want points for complaining online.
There’s a kid with Down’s syndrome in my kid’s class. Hopefully they have job training for him when they reach high school.
Read the post that set you off with your complaining, they are installing coffee shops to sell coffee and coffee drinks to the kids.
So?
It’s a coffee shop for teens and the teachers. I don’t think caffeine is going to corrupt anyone’s morals.
(I bet they even offer decaf, too.)
If this worthy project is the most important thing you can complain about tonight, I have to wonder about your judgment.
They can be very selective in hiring. Some barista jobs are all filled by those with master's degrees. Masters in Gender Studies, Master's in Grievance Studies,...
I don’t know why you keep going after me in such a personal way, but this seems to be your internet thing tonight.
