U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) announced a new bill on Wednesday, the Family Friendly Schools Act, to make school days longer by a total of three hours.

The presidential candidate wants to start the school day by at least 8 a.m. and end it at 6 p.m. in order to, among other things, align with working parents’ schedules more sufficiently.

I’m just ranting. I value education very much. I’m just really depressed when I think about our educational system as a collective.

Good luck getting cities and towns to fund that.

Why not bring in bunk beds and have them live there.

My wife is a teacher and I work a ten hour day plus an hour drive to and from work. We have very little family time as it is, teachers are always staying after school for meetings and extracurricular activities.

If my kids dont get out until 6 by the time they get on the bus and get home it will be close to 7. Once home they have homework and depending on the time of the year they may be involved in a sport. When are families suppose to spend time together under this plan?

" Through the same threat of cutting off federal subsidies--aka EXTORTION--that has been used over
and over on highway issues.

Remember the nationwide 55mph speed limit?"

It's a shame this won't work to end "Sanctuary Cities"
and force state and local governments to
turn over illegal aliens to ICE.

Like everything in The Ministry of Truth, the name of this pile of dung is exactly the opposite of what it is.

“the Family Friendly Schools Act” actually divides and separates families, doesn’t it? Very Family Unfriendly.

Harris couldn’t care less about ‘family time’.

She doesn’t appear to have ever had children of her own -
that probably would have taken too much time away from kickin’ it with Willie and getting ahead in her ‘profession’ (term used advisedly)...

She and her current husband reportedly have a net worth of $5.8 million. I’m sure she really understands the needs and concerns of natural, working-class families - /s

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Japan has a low birth rate and is in a death spiral. I wouldn’t emulate anything they do.

“....She’s dying out there but she won’t go down....”

Well, Willie Brown would most likely take issue with that....

“She’s dying out there but she won’t go down.”

Not what Willie Brown said.

Ever.
