Ugh, let's just lock them in a box with a hamster wheel and a feeding tube. Or a Dr. Venture learning bed. Nothing good will come of wasting even more of children's time in public schooling. Let them go outside, read some books they actually want to read, go fishing, work a little bit. Let them be children.
Really, we should all get a summer vacation. Obviously, doing it all at the same time would be problematic, but the standard ten or fifteen days off over the whole year is just stupid. I would kill for two and a half months off to learn some hard things and get some projects done.
- seanp2k2 10y agoIf you really want this, you can probably have it, and you needn't go anywhere near as far as murder to get it. I know of quite a few people who make a living through various types of contracting (software and mechanical engineering in the cases of two personal friends who do this) and take off a few months each year to travel and relax. It won't maximize your cash flow, but it could maximize your happiness if that's what would truly do it for you. I suggest that you seriously look into it and consider if that would give you more fulfillment :)
- eximius 10y agoI desparately wish we as a society would stop clinging to the 40-hour work week and working non-stop until retirement. I don't think we live in a post-scarcity world, but we could sure make things easier on ourselves.
