> why are the school schedules stupid? aren't they inheriated by the work schedules of the parents?
the whole idea that schools are places to dump your kids so you can go to work is stupid.
we can't have it both ways. i've been saying this for a long time but unless people revolt and refuse to have children until we "pay" people to raise their children, things won't get better. lets see where they find more consumers to buy/pay for crap when everyone just refuses to bear children.
i don't necessarily mean pay as in with money but with worker's rights which I guess does translate to money...
Even in locales where workers have strong parental leave rights, school is just a place to dump the children.
The distinction between countries where school is a place to dump children versus countries where school is seen as an institution to further the countrie's standing has been made very obvious in the COVID crisis. The former countries just closed their schools and made a figleaf attempt at covering that (e.g. weekly work assignments). The latter countries dumped resources into offsetting closed schools, e.g. turning public TV into school TV, significant eLearning investments etc.
From this we can learn that school is a place to dump children even - especially - in rich, western countries with strong worker rights; meanwhile countries like Mexico fall into the latter category.
i don't think this follows. school is a kindergarten, as children require supervision. if the quality of the school is good too, great. if not, not great. mixing those two characteristics up doesn't help anybody
your entire argument seems to be based on parents wanting to stay home and raise their children. Some might, a lot of people don't want to do this. If both parents want to work and have a career and/or a job that isn't a fulltime nanny, I don't see how the pay component you are arguing about is at all relevant?
