The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
Well, there goes the janitors union endorsement...
Newt seems to understand the Janitors for Justice movement which morphed into SEIU
Makes sense. Newt is smart, if not consistent. He can out-think Obama, and most of the GOP. The baggage though....
his greater point is right on the mark but the liberal media will run with the headline “Gingrich wants kids to clean up schools” mark my words...
The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?
This has to be satire. He is not this stupid. We want to fire the adult janitors and replace them with six year olds? Really? These candidates are losing by themselves. I don’t have to lift a finger.
One result was a huge difference between the respect Japanese kids had for their school as opposed to their American counterparts.
Of course, in the higher grades, we have cops at the doors and kids are searched for weapons. Don't ask what the demographics are.
I live in an area that grows a lot of apples, cabbages, etc...
rather than having an army of illegals picking the stuff, I always thought - wouldn’t it be much better if High School kids spent 2 weeks doing this instead?
Of course, it will never happen.
Why not? They do that in Japan.
What a good idea!
gosh, isn’t newt brilliant?
There was a time when being a janitor in a school was a political appointment.
I worked consistently from the seventh grade until I graduated from high school at age 17, when I was young. Under current law, I would not have been allowed to hold a single one of those jobs, and would have been broke, and taught to hate the rich instead of do what they did to get rich.
Work.
a good way to tackle failing schools is to try to phase in as many virtual classes as possible. Every child will have an opportunity to have access and be taught by “the best” educator instead of being stuck with the worst. less cost and better results.
Parents also need to look at how many people are on the staff of every school in relation to the number of students. One school in Oregon had one employee for every seven students. Once the people found out, they cut way back. There’s a lot of waste out there and the only way to cut it back is for the people to get involved. Ask questions and demand answers.
It’s not the Left Newt needs to worry about, it’s his own mouth.
Newt is also for more colleges like the College of the Osarks. (been around over 100 years. Student graduate with little to NO student loans.)
He wants every states to start such a college. (Of course that will be fought fiercely as it leaves grads free of government servitude.)
When I went to elementary school we had school chores. We wiped down our desktops once a week and swept the floors every day. We also dumped out the wastebaskets, washed the blackboards and pounded erasers every day. In the winter we helped shovel the walkways and put out salt. Whenever needed, we cleaned up the school yard of trash that might have blown against the fences.
At the end of the school year we had to clean our books by erasing anything written in them and get them cleaned up for the students coming in the next fall. In the fall we made paper dust jackets for the books before we were allowed to use them. I guess kids these days don’t do any of these little chores that in the past made the school an extension of the home.
