I hope you are a gifted fortune teller and that your prediction for for sending Trump and the Trumpians, every one of them to the places they sent innocent immigrants, will come true in the New Year!

Yes to free lunch. And I so frigging tired of the unprofessional and incompetence of this regime there are no real words to fully describe it. Screams, maybe.

Free lunches and breakfasts provide a healthier learning environment. It’s been proven that hungry kids do not perform well so free meals will help children to learn and think which will lead to smarter adults. “Make America SmartAgain”

The DOJ is a stain on our history. They lie, they TRY to beat down trumpys adversaries and they steal from out taxpayer money. Think Kash Patel dates, JDs vacations and Hegseth’s illegal war plans.

Of course school meals should be free, food during the school day is as essential as paper and pencils, art supplies ... This can easily be done, by reversing public funding for charter and private schools! Schools that are not required to abide by the rules and regulations of the public school districts should not have access to taxpayer support. If you choose to have your child(ren) attend a religious day school or some other type of non public school that should be your expense in addition to the taxes you pay to support Public Education which is a societal benefit whether or not your child(ren) attend or you are childless. The more educated a person is the less likely they are to be incarcerated as an adult. The ROI on Education and in particular early childhood education Head Start and other preschool is well over 100%. Not only does Education effect incarceration rates, but it also creates greater future incomes and therefore greater future tax revenues!

I forgot to mention taxpayer money should not be used to subsidize home schooling. While home schooling allows parents to tailor what their child(ren) learn, the lack of socialization that home schooled students get is not in the interest of the society as a whole.

Steve, I agree. Indoctrination and isolation are never good ideas for a learning environment.

Steve Brown's avatar

Potentially the isolation can help concentration, but many of the most valuable things I learned in school were not part of the formal curriculum, but things I learned outside of class when talking to my peers, or just observing what my peers were or weren't doing. A prime example would be what my Jewish classmates and I were discussing during the 1967 “Six-Day War” our parents had the TV on seemingly round the clock getting the latest news by watching the coverage of the debates at the U.N. both the General Assembly and the Security Council. The non Jews in my elementary school seemed unaware that anything unusual was happening in the world that week.

Home schooling can be great! It depends on the teacher/parent. I experienced home schooling for a semester of 5th grade. I had about 3 hours of class a day and the rest of the day was mine.We were not getting any subsidy for our experiment. It happened because we were between houses.

Going to regular school was a huge waste of time; however, I put up with it through high school and college.

You were evidently motivated, but, as an educator for 32 years, many students aren’t.

Steve Brown's avatar

Not saying in every case it's bad and obviously you also had exposure to public schooling and the socialization or lack thereof that takes place in schools outside the home. No doubt that individual instruction is a more efficient way to learn subject material, hence your time savings, but even time spent bringing students below your ability up to the minimum standard has a value to you. It let's you know that not everyone is like you and that to be a responsible member of society that you need to accommodate the needs of others and not just your own needs.

100% correct. I have complain about voucher money from taxpayer going to religious and private schools...absolutely wrong. If religious schools are going to get our tax money Isay tax the all those churches/synagogues .

Congratulations to Minnesota and Gov. Walz for setting a prime example of care and decency. More like that, please. The Regime’s abusive & self-promoting lies/rhetoric are way past their sell-by date, so kudos to our team, that supports and assists all Americans of every age, color, lifestyle & belief.

I believe absolutely every single school child should have a free breakfast (and breakfast club to practice learning for the day?) and a free school lunch. Attendance will rise. Concentration will improve.

A sense of inherent equality will be fostered.

“You dope”?! DOJ is now TRUMP’S DOJ. Over 7 million citizens turned out to protest the current regime. We must show up for No Kings 3 in numbers approaching 12 million. That will very quickly send the entire Trumpist/MAGA/ICE/fascist/gestapo traitors fleeing for the nearest exit.

If our education system was more properly run, every kid could get breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately we have a woman at the helm who wants to get rid of the Department of Education completely. As far as Bondi's response to a reporter, calling him a dope, that is just disgusting. All of the despicable cretins in TRump's entire Clown Car Cabinet are grotesque. They need to grow up.

Bondi’s Law License should be revoked due to every lie and illegality she has produced just like Rudy Guiliani! Also who the hell in the FBI would redact and coverup for all of the victims suffering decades because of Epstein/Griswald?

I read (somewhere, on Substack) that the White House has taken control of the DOJ's press office. That response probably came from DJT, who spends his time tweeting.

No child in America should have to go without breakfast and lunch. It should be free and nutritious.

What Bondi is doing is criminal! She is altering the facts to protect a pedophile who is currently in meltdown mode. He knows the end if his reign is coming sooner than later, and I am here for it. The entire cabinet and his staff are all corrupt and complicit in his crimes.

And Healthcare. It is doable. Priorities need adjustment that’s all. If the rich have to pay taxes they won’t starve. Or lack the finest Healthcare. Or go uneducated. You get the picture.
