RapidcreekSen. Bernie Sanders opposes giving Israel $10 billion in aid
So we have a spare 10 billion for Israel, but not predatory studen loan debt relief for our own citizens? Sounds about right
pls, giving student loan debt relief instead of $10 billion to Israeli gov’t is considered anti-Semitic 😔
Or free school lunch.
Or free pre-K
At some point, we should simply allow children to be children. I’m not adverse to pre-k but I’m very adverse to conditioning them to work at ever*-earlier ages.

If we had more funding for great teachers, it would be anything but pre-work. Ultimately, lower income families really benefit from free childcare schools provide, and a good pre-K classroom is all about play and exploring.
Teaching at that level should be fun for kids and teachers (though also exhausting). It's when underfunding forces teachers into a solid 8h of classroom time a day with a way too large class size that it turns work-like.
I freelanced music ed and worked with 4-8 year olds in several different schools. Some were amazing, supportive teaching assistants and reasonable schedules with a few breaks in my day, kids loved it and so did I. Others, I felt like a warden just trying to stop a riot for 9 hours straight with a 20min lunch. 25+ 4 year olds with no support doesn't work.
What am amazing reply! I’m fully on board with fully funded, fully fun pre-k-12. I’d like to see it Montessori style, as well. Bring back recess, and for goodness’ sake, a full lunch hour.
