Volunteers were assigned according to a strict rotation and if you refused to do it you were practically submitting your resignation. Either call for shortening the work day, instead, or an after school program that doesn’t lean on teachers giving up even more of their time.

pantslesswithwolves posted:Kamala Harris just lost the under-17 vote: poo poo, I actually agree with her on that. My platform is basically year-round 24 hour schools where the kids have to be there from like 9-5 but have optional enrichment available like 2 hours before and after that, and then the other 12 hours are essentially daycare. I could be talked down to 7p to 7a being vouchers for a well-monitored overnight care. No papers, no homework, clubs and sports all happen between 5 and 7. Kids get home and don't have to worry about poo poo till school th next day. Teachers have enough time to teach, kids can go write papers in the library, they can study study hall during the day, etc. It's insane that we are still following a 19th century school calendar. Of course to fund this we might have to tax some billionaires and maybe not let them park their money in the Cayman Islands, so it will never happen.

I disagree with none of what you’re saying and understand the merits behind Harris’ proposal, but I still think teachers are going to get the short end of the stick on this one.

Fallom posted:Naturally the billions of dollars in new productivity will be sent to the teachers Yeah, this. I'm already at work long before the students and stay after they leave because the actual teaching part is not the entire job. I have no faith in any proposal in any industry which requires "volunteers" to work longer.

Also there are very good replies regarding how kids spend too much time in school already and how they need unstructured time rather than "enrichment activities" which we all know certain districts will turn into grinding test prep.

joat mon posted:I expect it's the difference between local and national races. Local stuff, signs are more important to getting your name out there than ads or mailers. For national stuff, I expect the word is gotten out by ads and news, and signs are more for voters to show their support. Theres an important psychological component you're missing. Yes technically Bernie may be a household name, but seeing bernie signs on every 10th house vs every 100th house you drive past is motivating. You get more motivated, and maybe are a little more enthusiastic when you're selling bernie to your neighbor. Now multiply that by the population in every swing district. Terrifying Effigies posted:According to some of the replies the yard signs are closer to $15 for at cost, but just shows that 1) Bernie's got a huge small donor war chest and 2) he's investing it back into stuff that helps keep the grassroots motivated and get out the word at the community level rather than spending it all on pointless TV ad buys and consultant leeches. Lol no. The people in those twitter replys are idiots. Maybe they're looking at what a sign would cost if you try to buy a 100 from kinko's or something. When you start buying in the 10k's quantity yard signs are about $0.25 each, maybe less depending on how bulk you buy. Shipping them to the base is the most expensive part of the process. But if you can pack them in box's and hand them out to people at the office that saves you another few dollars per count. Make sure you hire engineers and procurement specialists for your campaign people, and not lanyard suit's with their useless statistics.

stealie72 posted:Yeah, in my pie in the sky fantasy, there would be like 3x the number of teachers/coaches/aides/librarians/etc. I have no doubt that in reality land it would be more "hi teachers, guess what, you're work day is now 30% longer" and any attempts to increase funding and hire more teachers would be met at the polls with boomers saying no because "my property taxes are too high and those teachers barely work anyway." "Property Taxes Are Too High" should be the motto of the GOP if they want to win back the suburbs.

But at least in my kids' experience the out-of-school enrichment stuff is still real. Maybe that changes in HS. Agree on the unstructured time, though. a longer school day should definitely have some just-supervised-enough-so-a-kid-doesn't-die recess fuckaround time a couple times during the day.

If my school experience counts, being in school any longer than 7-3 is agony and suggesting kids stick around any longer is cruel and unusual.

I spent grades 4-7 hiding from the 5-10 kids in my class of 20 who loved circling up and kicking me as much as they could before the single faculty member supervising recess finally chased them off because it turns out when you underfund and underpay schools you get too few people working at any one time and too many of them can’t be assed to actually do their jobs. Mandating longer hours before making it so the hours currently spent at schools aren’t just a sociopath breeding ground is going to kill children.

Yea 10hr days aren’t a ton of fun, even if you’re getting paid and only have a 4-day workweek. Being in school for that long sounds like a recipe for misery. ...that means someone will try it, right?

I’m still cached apparently. Here’s what it said: EXCLUSIVE: @KamalaHarris has a new a bill to stretch the school day from 8 am to 6 pm. The shift intends to fix the misalignment of the traditional school day and work day, a gap experts say contributes to $55 billion in productivity losses each year.https://t.co/vTA8LVJWQX — Kara Voght (@karavoght) November 6, 2019

hobbesmaster posted:Seems more like a universal daycare proposal than an “extending the school day” proposal? Who is going to be the care taker? Teachers. When will they grade papers? Create lesson plans? Actually do all of the things that are required outside of teaching time? Actually, they’ll probably allocate enough funds for education to pay for professional care takers.

Reading the MJ article, it's hard to say it's a bad plan because it really seems to be more like a sponsored fact-finding mission - they're basically telling schools "Find a way to keep your doors open year-round from 8 to 6, we'll give you cash and measure the results." There's a lot of ways this could be implemented, many bad, but many good, and that will be up to the individual school districts. eh, worth a shot I guess

If we're doing massive upheaval reforms for education in this country could we maybe pull the funding out of every poo poo headed group of local pearl clutchers worried about their property values and being too close to "those" people? At the very god drat least make it state level.

Maybe it's a California thing. Ever school in my neighborhood has banners for after school programs and supper programs. So on that level, hell yeah nationalize that concept! On the other hand I work/volunteered at a place where we had at-risk highschool kids run a cafe. It waThe state paid them through an educational stipend and the company didn't have to. So I also see how this can be easily exploited, because I done that exact exploitation. In conclusion Khamala Harris will make seeing children outside of school illegal from sunup to sundown. The punishment will be in the form of a live action battleroyal in a business partnership with fortnite.
