America loves a winner!

Education Secretary Arne Duncan proposes 24/7 public boarding schools

by Dan Butcher • May 13, 2015

Speaking at the Youth Violence Prevention Summit in Arlington, VA, Education Secretary Arne Duncan proposed government-run public boarding schools that would operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

“One idea that I threw out, is this idea of public boarding schools. That’s a little bit of a different idea, a controversial idea.

“But the question is—do we have some children where there’s not a mom, there’s not a dad, there’s not a grandma, there’s just nobody at home?

“There’s just certain kids we should have 24/7 to really create a safe environment and give them a chance to be successful,” Duncan said.

Hey, Ive been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity.

So she wants to run orphanages?

"there’s not a mom, there’s not a dad, there’s not a grandma, there’s just nobody at home".

Considering the education system is barely capable of teaching children I'm a bit reluctant to think its capable of raising them.

Glad such a progressive thinker is there and not here.

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face;
With stars to fill my dream;
I am a traveler of both time and space;
To be where I have been

I certainly hope nobody shares that with Wisconsin State Superintendent Tony Evers. His is absolutely stupid enough to pursue that level of degradation.

Is this ditz trying to explode the pregnancy rate in VA?

Actually, I've read a lot written by people back in the day of orphanages, and many of them had nice things to say about it giving a sense of community. You don't hear so much coming from the victims of Fostercare, but I'm sure it does happen.

As long as kids aren't Autism Spectrum, most seem to do well enough in group settings.

I wouldn't trust a government agency to do it well, nor a religious based one, but then I don't trust most PARENTS to parent well these days, either...

Me as well Brenda, but I doubt many of the Americans on the site would understand what the term means or the devastation that program caused and continues to cause in so many lives.

As pointed out by Wishi, religious groups and government are way down the list as agencies to be trusted in looking after children.

The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/two

For high school, Joss Whedon spent three years in an English boarding school, Winchester College in Hampshire. That was 24/7 and no weekends back in NYC with family and was good enough for him. www.whedonverse.net/joss-whedon-biography/

So, what did we learn? Send children away to school and they return as Joss-like creatures, forever obsessed with vampires, Shakespeare, comic books and spaceships. The horror of it all!

Interesting. Hadn't heard of that.

"There's no exact tally, but hundreds of First Nations children disappeared after being taken from their homes to attend residential schools from 1870 to the mid-1900s. That's the most startling discovery for Murray Sinclair, the Manitoba judge who is chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, examining the effects of residential schools on First Nations Communities.

"Missing children - that is the big surprise for me," Sinclair said in an interview during a Toronto visit this week. "That such large numbers of children died at the schools. That the information of their deaths was not communicated back to their families."

Thunderbird's Comment: Manitoba has a very large population of Indigenous people; isn't it odd that Manitoba's first Aboriginal judge, appointed to Manitoba's Court of Queen's Bench in January 2001, would have no idea of the death toll, and didn't or couldn't make the leap to a correlation between violent, hate-based crimes on such a huge scale and death. For thirty years, Judge Sinclair's main legal interests were civil, criminal and Aboriginal law!

The Star article goes on to say that the number of deaths are in the hundreds, when, the estimates have also been estimated at between 35%-60% of the approximately 150,000 children who were kidnapped and savaged. 1909, Dr. Peter Bryce, general medical superintendent for Indian Affairs reported to the Ministry that between 1894-1908 the mortality rate in western Canadian residential schools was between 35%-60%. The statistic became public in 1922 (more about this below), That is between 52,500 - 90,000 children unaccounted for! Do we all really naively believe they died of natural causes? Mass graves have already been discovered. It is our holocaust.

Not that people aren't capable of some amazing crap these days, but with everyone suing every thirty seconds I doubt that could happen again.
