Eh, that's what the schools here have been doing since Covid, and I have to say, I'm not really a fan. I worry with the reduced schedule my nephews are being cheated out of a decent education. They hang around the house all day and seem wholly directionless. One day a week, four days a month, thirty-six days a year, counting holidays--it all ads up, cumulatively, all year 'round. In effect, it's a bite-size version of the "
summer slide". I would also cite the paradox of what I call the "inverse correlation of technological advancement"*. In my day (excuse me while I fart a cloud of dust), we still had typewriters in schools, as hard as it is to believe; we filled our days with activities like building balsa-wood structures, blowing glycerine soap bubbles, studying pyramid power--don't laugh; it was the eighties, and I think back when that New-Agey thinking was big my junior-high school bought a bunch of those books and didn't want them to go to waste--and
learning our times tables from record albums. Yet in the age of YouTube and a wealth of information at their fingertips, kids actually seem
dumber.
And what about the lower-income children who depend on school lunches for nourishment? Some schools do actually put out a decent, nutritious feed. Without it, these kids have to tighten their belts and skip a meal once a week, which can't be healthy in the long run. Where do
they go?
You know who
I blame? The lazy administrators and those damn teacher's unions who show no interest in educating kids. This is why annual college enrollment is meteorically dropping, dorm rooms yawn open empty and unused, and many Universities have to raise tuition just to barely keep the lights on.
Some savvy students even rent out their rooms and pocket the extra cash. Enterprising, sure, but do
you know what kind of perverted individual might be subletting the room next door to you, or your son or daughter?
...And then a cutaway gag shows me at your local University, suitcase in hand, handing some tattooed and pierced Gen-Z'er a fat bundle of cash.
