Lawdy........What to do about schools closing down | |
| cosmicgypsy
Offer Upgrade  User ID: 74619032  United States03/13/2020 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My son came over and told me that all the town's schools are shutting down for three weeks. He told me he'd never seen so much complaining in his entire life. They're complaining about who's going to take care of their children while they're at work. Why complain? What good is that going to do?....  What y'all need to do is get within your close communities, and set kid watching schedules. Make plans and organize yourselves! I suppose, at least it's being flung out there, that they're going to shut down the whole country, but until they do, this is when community is going to be necessary! Time to get to know your neighbors!....  You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

User ID: 31702506 United States03/13/2020 05:48 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It takes a village. Seriously, I am my brother's keeper, if the parents have taught their children to be responsible and respectful people the neighbors can all take turns keeping each others kids. Or GrandMaw may need to come for a 3 week visit.. LOL Just because YOU don’t believe in the Rougarou; or the Loup Garou, don’t make you safe; No ! The Constitution is a blend of 'moral certitude' -- which is one of the reasons that criminals are determined to be rid of it and We the People must be even more determined to defend it. "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." - Thomas Paine The only thing the Illuminati fears is an independent person who can live, eat, sleep, stay warm and defend themselves separate from Federal help. Pray that the Lord gives us more time! The End is near and time is short! A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion. ~Proverbs 18:2 For those who understand, no explanation is needed. For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible "A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle" - James Keller Checkd, Keked, and Rekt! #Kids2 |

(OP) User ID: 74619032 United States03/13/2020 05:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll tell y'all a true story about when my son was young-- I sent him to school, and he came right back home and said his classes were cancelled. I marched him right back to the school to find the teachers on strike. They had been working for over a year without a contract....the School Board was ignoring them. I stood there and said, "Aww, hell no." I organized petitions, sit ins, picketing in front of the School Board office.....  And ya know what?....within two weeks of the community rising up, our teachers had their contract. Baddas, eh?....  “Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead WE CAN TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!

Problem is, in a lot of places, there are no proper communities as such- long term neighbours don't know each other and if you attempt to make friends with them you're perceived as odd. If you don't have family to fall back on, you're in trouble. It's not how it should be though. I know it wasn't like this way back. Good luck, sincerely. |

SMH It was never meant to buy garbage, rather healthful foods to cook at home and feed your family. Most closing districts are scrambling to set up meal sites around the districts so that the kids can still get their free and reduced lunches. Parents cannot be bothered to feed their own kids any longer. Most of them don't even know how to cook! God help them when McDonalds closes. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 77606098 United States03/13/2020 07:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | used to be kids helped around the farm, and most people worked the land. i saw a guy bring his kid to where i work at a factory, and while he didnt appear very interested although it is interesting work (machining, welding, engineering, forming, etc etc), it was refreshing to see. school is a waste of time. it is about regimentation, over socializing, and crushing initiative or inquisitiveness. life and learning should be fun and natural. somehow they stole all the vigor out of life right at the start. could be the best thing to happen to those kids to unplug from all that crap. if it were up to me id have never wasted all that time in public schools. spent my life raised by strangers, and a few genuinely cared, but most didnt. |

It's just...ya know...my go to at times like this is not to complain about the problem, it's to get the problem fixed up. And I suppose I'm seriously wondering if most people "out there" even realize what powers of resourcefulness they have. Has it been domesticated out of us, and I didn't see it?....

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 72727002 United States03/13/2020 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I work at a school district in Southern California. Our district is shut down for a month. LA, Long Beach, Anaheim, San Diego, etc. all shut down as of today. What the parents do with their kids is their business. They need to take responsibility for their own kids imo anyway. I get so sick of parents depending on the schools to give them free food, free babysitting after school, free everything. |

And they cannot afford it! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77784968 Thanks Demonrats & Media!  And that is the point of my thread. People with school age children need to band together and help one another out....because, day care centers will be next. Just so youse guyses know, I personally think it's a good idea to shut the schools down, because they are vectors for contagions. One of the worst.
