Real good day to sit back.  Saturday's are my fav day simply because it's the furthest day from work!

That's what I did! :D I sat back and lazed all day. ;D I felt I deserved it after the week I had. ;D

Aaaaannndd you did deserve it.  The weekend is ours.  We work all week and we deserve time off.  Two days is not enough to call off though.  It really should be three days.

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.   ;D   :nervoussmile:

* ICoTA? Or maybe "Inverse Dilation of Technology as to Applied Skills"--IDioTAS.

Schools suck now days.  You can talk to any kid in school now days and they will say it's terrible.  We are spending more money per student, but they are just not learning anything.  Laptops for students isn't good either.  Phones need to be OFF at the door.

Kids can't read or write.  They aren't being taught history and they are untouchable at schools. It's a real mess.  The US needs to get its education act together.

Not a happy Saturday.  We're buried under ice and snow here.  I mean, yeah, we've got plenty of food and a lot of stuff on streaming to watch, but it's still pretty cold out there.

Oh yeah, part of the country is under a massive snow storm. Hopefully everyone stays warm and has supplies.
