My wife teaches at a Catholic pre-school. (She’s Catholic, I’m not.) She gets up at 5 am. Best case she’s home at 3:30 pm, but much more likely is 4:30 pm, and sometimes things run later than that. The drive to work and back is about 25 minutes each way. Maybe once a week she stops to pick up food or something on the way home - most days, it’s straight back home. Then she spends most of her evenings doing lesson plans, etc. I do 95% (at least) of my own cooking, these days, and sometimes cook for her and our daughter too, do dishes, etc. (As if I wasn’t busy already!!!)
Kamala wants to add 3 hours to THAT? Kids will rebel (Hey, maybe that’ll generate a new generation of Dem haters!), and teachers will too, unless MANY more teachers are hired. As others have pointed out, where’s the money for that? Ok, granted, that question never slowed down a lib or socialist...
money? just throw a few more taxpayers on the fire...
My wife was a teacher and she says a school hour is equal to 45 minutes. Five minutes to settle down, 5 minutes of random disrespectful disruptions, and 5 wasted minutes at the end when kids loose interest. Then there are multiple shortened days for administration to have various assemblies.
Then she had to deal with mentally handicapped kids being mainstreamed because special ed is too expensive or libs don’t like it. Sum it up school is pretty much a big waste of Time. Then you have to deal with parents who believe all problems with their precious babies is caused by teachers.
BTW in 20 years she never heard any parent bad mouth any administrator who actually caused the problems with unrealistic expectations and demands.
