Her after school program was for not only social interaction with other kids, but also tutoring and various other activities. :smiling:

lol, and to think many years back when Clinton was in charge, while screwing things up he still opposed my country’s caning of VANDAL Michael Fay (not sure if you guys remember), it was a laugh seeing the dems trip over each other to talk about “inhumane” treatment when they don’t mind giving so much money to people who have not treated honest citizens fairly.

I was not really into it back then, I was too young, but looking back…

To the libtards who cried about that… :finger:

@Ick: Well Ick the DISD is partly right, they are not the babysitters, BUT they do have an obligation to follow through with promises made, if they can’t oblige for some reason they need to provide alternate forms and plenty of advance notice.

I wonder how the prisoners in Texas are fairing? I hope they are comfy and have adequate care…Sarcasm.

Don’t think your all alone.. They have *modified* the school bus system here for the same reason. They have actually changed some school hours to fit in the window of running the buses to save money on gas. Dallas Independent School District thought it would be a good idea to cut the after school programs to save money as well. My daughters principal was not real thrilled when I showed up in her office to find out who I needed to call and write to let them know how f**ked up it was.

When I got the school district on the phone, I was told you the parents will just have to accept the fact that the school district is not your babysitter and you will actually have to take care of your own child. Her name was quickly asked for, and I promptly showed up at the main office the next day. Needless to say her boss was none to thrilled to hear what she had to say. Never the less the outcome is the same. No after school program! Hey DISD :finger:

No. No one thinks of consequences on down the line of various forms of legislation or mandate. Perfect ridiculous example: the 1.5 gallon flush toilet. US toilets used to be 3-gallon flush. To “save water” manufacturers had to cut the amount of water used. With the new units, it occasionally requires two turns of the lever to handle the same amount of effluvium. Hence, no water saved, still 3+ gallons utilized. Next? Back to the one-square of TP per wipe mandate. TP rolls will have time locks on them.

Bro, when people like us think out loud it’s a bit scary for those of lesser intelligence, especially those that believe themselves to be superior…
