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.

See my post #9. Japanese schools still employ janitors to do the heavy duty stuff, including maintenance and repairs. But just having the kids do a little not only fosters an attitude of pride in the schools, but eliminates the need for an army of SEIU workers laundering money for the Democrat machine.

I must have missed that part where we hire 6 year olds.

At 14 I was hiring out as a farm worker during the summer. I bought my first car when I got old enough with the money earned.

What would be wrong with hiring Seniors to do some work around the school?

Get a grip. He isn't saying anything of the kind and you know it. (Say hi to Mitt to us)

That said, when I was little - even at 8 years - we got out of school 2-3 weeks in the fall to pick potatoes. We LOVED it. 'Equal" to adults. In the sunshine and OUT of school. Money in our pockets tied directly to how hard we, ourselves worked. GREAT lessons.

(And, NO, our academic learning didn't suffer. When my brother I were moved to Boston, from a little One-Room school to the big city schools, we were a full year ahead.)

Newt certainly was not referring to six year olds, but what the heck
Is wrong with any teenager working???? I am quite certain many
folks on this site worked and did babysitting at 14 years old. Labor
laws are out of control, kids need to work it gives them pride and self
confidence! Very small children are on corners dealing drugs!!!! Nuf said.

You could have just posted "I DIDN"T READ THE ARTICLE" and saved yourself a lot of typing.

[RockinRight]

I think he’s talking middle/high school kids.

Instead of risking sounding like an idiot on every Newt thread, why not read articles and use common sense first.
