what will they think of next?

Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza said washing machines could help solve the city's problem with chronic student absenteeism. The city said some students may choose to stay home instead of coming to school in dirty clothes and being bullied.

During his budget address Tuesday night, Elorza said he wants to introduce a $50,000 program to bring washers and dryers to city schools.

Providence City Spokeswoman Emily Crowell said the city plans to do a survey to figure out exactly which schools need washing machines and how many are needed.


the Mayor must be getting a kickback from Kenmore

For what it's worth, this has been done in some other districts around the country with some success. I think it was a 60 minutes piece, but I could be misremembering where I saw it.

Success in that if they get more kids, who either from lack of means or support at home to matriculate through and graduate and become productive members of society.
Or just be snarky. Whatever works for you.

To think that there was once a time when children were going to and from school hungry. And then the lunch program was started. I bet there were a lot of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&s that thought that was a joke too.

if the schools are going to perform all of the parents duties, what are the parents going to do??? if parents aren't feeding their children or are sending them to school in dirty clothes that is child abuse...when do the parents ever get held accountable??? Do children who grow up with the school feeding them and washing their clothes and counseling them in every way then expect schools to do the same for their children?

There’s a word in the dictionary called “empathy”. You should look it up and try to practice it.

How about organizing a fund raiser to pay for them? When did empathy require tax dollars? Get the people involved who would like to see these in the schools.

Yet kids still go to school hungry. It is not the kids' fault, it is the parents responsibility though.

It is embarrassing as hell to go to school dirty and disheveled. And hungry and poor.

I am not opposed to these solutions to these problems but one of the main problems in many (but not all) cases, poor parenting, never gets well addressed. Slippery slope. You can have good parents you can have loving parents and if you are lucky, you have two good and loving parents. A lot of these kids simply don't.

Wayne will say it is Conservative's fault.

"evidence is everywhere" Hahaha, couldn't resist.

Yes it is, though far more often it impacts people with a worse start than the people with a better start. Of course, this is how the cycle repeats.

Thank You for finally coming to terms with that, the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem.

now if you could just get Spence, Pete, and Paul onboard with that, you guys could have a weekly meeting. I hear the "Y" has good coffee

Haven't had coffee in years. Drink the occasional tea now. Came in from a snotty cold night on BI a few years ago in my wetsuit and the guy I was with asked if I wanted black tea to warm me up. It was delicious. Highly recommend it.

Same thing that he would say to or about Progressives. Something like "Render therefore to Trump the things that are Trump's; and to God, the things that are God’s,"

Public school systems are a mess. Taxpayers have dumped tons of money into them - some programs work, but many don't. Ask any teacher in communities that have problems. Major issues are disruptive children in the learning environment and student absenteeism. School administrations hands are tied when they try to boot disruptive kids out of school and hold parents/guardians responsible for attendance. It's a very complex problem. Is shouldn't be any surprise why responsible parents/guardians are opting for private school or home schooling.

leftists heard about this and are addressing the problem as only leftists can...

April 23 2019
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – The California State Senate voted to ban schools and principals from suspending students for “willful defiance” of teachers, staff, and administrators.

The Senate approved SB 419 Monday by a vote of 30-8. It moves to the Assembly next.

And conservatives are doing what they do best .. nothing. because nothing motivates the base like blaming liberals for all the country's issues .. yet never providing a plan themselves. Unless it has the word cut remove defund ..

Must be nice for conservatives to not have anyone on assistance.. who support their party ...

Thanks for the moment of ironic cheer. I have to admit, wrapping up your myopic little rant with "It's all so transparent" made me bust out in a laugh. With a little tweak here or there, you could be a hit on Comedy Central.
