Please start one more thread about it.

For what it's worth - Tyson's official statement: "In recent days, there has been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company, and we feel compelled to set the record straight. Any insinuation that we would cut American jobs to hire immigrant workers is completely false. Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration, and we led the way in participating in the two major government programs to help employers combat unlawful employment, E-Verify and the Mutual Agreement between Government and Employers (IMAGE) program."

Lol. I think you may have left out an insult or two... That's usually part of the equation.

What is the law that automatically sends someone to prison without due process? I'll wait...

For that matter, I guess you think little league sports should go away.

Try posting just part of the word... I like puzzles. 😎

While you may be right, you may also be wrong... What were the circumstances that led up to it?

I grew up in a military family (Dad was a Marine), and I went to elementary school in San Diego for several years. We went to school for 12 weeks and then off for 4 weeks (60/20 schedule) with 4 rotating tracks (Track A off, Tracks B, C & D were on and so forth). But that's back in the mid-70's when there were a lot more stay at home moms, all the school kids' families were mostly lower middle income at least and there were great communities of military families in our military housing that could help each other out. I can't imagine that type of schedule these days.

I'm on your side & the teachers' side 100%, but I don't think that's a fair assessment either. I've done that "chimp" job (honestly didn't care for it though...). Like with teachers, there's more to it than meets the eye.

I have nothing but respect for good teachers. I think they are oftentimes underpaid. My comments are more towards the detriment a 4 day school week is to the students' education, and the unaffordability it may pose to a struggling family.

Ironic. After our 3rd child was born, we decided that it would be better to stop daycare due to cost (mostly), and have my wife stay home with the kids. Not everyone can afford that... Luckily, @Box1 can tell us how we "have no idea or understanding on how anything works".

Considering the activity in the video, this is almost a pun.

An oxymoron?

You have to get someone to volunteer to watch your kids or pay for daycare during those limited times. That's for a limited time though. With the 4 Day system, childcare may have to be considered for 2 parent working families or single parent working families 52 weeks out of the year. It seems pretty advantageous for the teacher, understood. But the hardships it can put on a family's budget (especially in the current economic climate) can be very detrimental. Trying to get kids to focus an extra 90 minutes a day seems to be an issue too. And in poorer districts, some kids on free or reduced lunch just got one more chance to go hungry. Additionally, there are several studies that show that academic test scores falter with a 4 day school week. I can see both sides, but I would side overwhelmingly with the traditional 5 day school week. Most of the PROS of a shortened week help the district and the district employees Most of the CONS are realized by the students and families: So, are we trying to service the district/teachers or the students? We've had a 5 day week up to this point, after all.

Dude… that’s all I can say.

More than just liberals. The further leaning left adhere to "Progressive" policies which are more extreme than your left leaning liberal. She is a progressive by definition, and she is dangerous.

Although shocking, I'm not surprised. And she's there for life... Let that soak in.

I can only say this. The 4 day school week for 2 working parent families is a tough thing to sort out.

I know where they can get some cheap labor to build it... 😂

You are silly. In a good way though. It's cute.

You're so silly...

Told you so... 🤐 😇🤣

Agree 100%

You're re right. I'm sorry.

"Psychologists suggest trying to find compassion for that antagonistic narcissist . After all, through their negative behavior, they are shielding their threatened ego with their insistence on always being right." I'm sorry @Englebert I will try to be more compassionate.
