They don't need to push everyone later, they just need to start the younger kids early, and the older kids later, which is the opposite of what most districts do now. Pre-teens have no problem getting up at 6AM.

Parents fight that because then they can't have the older kids take care of the younger kids when they get home from school.

and those parents should be fought by cps

It's not the parent's fault the media has made them terrified of everything that they can't let their kids just go around the neighborhood while they're at work.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yes, but if they're afraid of that they shouldn't be having their other kids watch over their younger ones

What's the alternative?

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

hiring a babysitter

All the highschoolers are at school, the people left over are expensive.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe they should have thought about it before getting a small human

So your take is that only wealthy people should reproduce?

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

if having enough money to stop working to take care of your kid for a few years is considered wealthy, then yes.

Between high rent and low wages, 99% of americans do not and could never have the funds to go 4 years without income. Are you really that disconnected?

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

owning a house eliminates the rent argument and low wages only effects future wealth not current wealth. Wealth has nothing to do with current income.

Are you being intentionally obtuse?
