"Pay us so we can recruit your kids to be minimum wage workers later."
This is for 5-12 year olds. Do you really think spending 3 hours on a single day will have any effect on the ability to recruit a child for minimum wage jobs somewhere 4 to 11 years down the line?"Pay us so we can recruit your kids to be minimum wage workers later."
It is literally on the job training that they're expecting parents to pay for.This is for 5-12 year olds. Do you really think spending 3 hours on a single day will have any effect on the ability to recruit a child for minimum wage jobs somewhere 4 to 11 years down the line?
Don't you understand? Finding joy in normal things is capitalist brainwashing.This is for 5-12 year olds. Do you really think spending 3 hours on a single day will have any effect on the ability to recruit a child for minimum wage jobs somewhere 4 to 11 years down the line?
grooming children for fast food work is not inaccurately described that way, yeah. not so sure it's a 'normal thing', though.Don't you understand? Finding joy in normal things is capitalist brainwashing.
I'm not sure that working for Chick-a-fil entirely qualifies as "normal", and much as I appreciate that high skill, high wage jobs are but a dream for many, I'm not entirely sure fast food retail is what we should be encouraging kids to aspire to, either. Although I can't help but feel the primary function is advertising, to keep kids pestering mom and pop to buy them junk food, when the nation groans under the strain of obesity and diabetes.Don't you understand? Finding joy in normal things is capitalist brainwashing.
Charitably its work experience (that parents are paying for), or more accurately a workshop (since it only goes for three hours) that will teach you sod all even in preparation for taking a job as a fast food worker because five to twelve year olds simply won't internalise it, let alone retain it, over such a short period of exposure and instruction.Don't you understand? Finding joy in normal things is capitalist brainwashing.
And it's a good thing that nobody would ever badly influence a child by taking advantage of their ignorance!Have any of you ever interacted with a child? Are you not aware of how much they enjoy restaurants, especially chicken nuggets, and imitating the adults they admire? The kids are going to love it.
Yeah, we literally have toys like the Easy Bake Oven and kitchen sets. The only thing weird about the Chick-fil-A camp it's not really camp, it's a 3 hour activity basically.Have any of you ever interacted with a child? Are you not aware of how much they enjoy restaurants, especially chicken nuggets, and imitating the adults they admire? The kids are going to love it.
Leaving any ideological objection to this bullshit to one side, I'd rather spend the $35 on stuff at the grocer and teach them myself. You know, because I'm their dad.Have any of you ever interacted with a child? Are you not aware of how much they enjoy restaurants, especially chicken nuggets, and imitating the adults they admire?

You know I legit cannot remember the last time I saw toys like that. And I don't remember my daughters having them. Then again the first five years of their life is kind of a haze for me so I won't discount it.Yeah, we literally have toys like the Easy Bake Oven and kitchen sets.
If this were any other place of work, would you call it taking advantage of children? If they were touring a fire house or police station, or visiting with doctors, or getting to see how the things they like are made.And it's a good thing that nobody would ever badly influence a child by taking advantage of their ignorance!
Day camp has been a term for a while, I suspect that's just another thing to make kids happy. If you called it an activity or experience, the kids would genuinely have less fun.Yeah, we literally have toys like the Easy Bake Oven and kitchen sets.

A) Those aren't mutually exclusive.Leaving any ideological objection to this bullshit to one side, I'd rather spend the $35 on stuff at the grocer and teach them myself. You know, because I'm their dad.
If it was a for-profit, then yes, because they have a vested interest in doing so and lots of them have poor track records of exploitation and taking advantage. I wouldn't generally support leaving kids with people who have vested interests in exploiting them.If this were any other place of work, would you call it taking advantage of children?

I remember my cousins had a grocery store toy set where you would work the cash register. Kids also play "house" as well.You know I legit cannot remember the last time I saw toys like that. And I don't remember my daughters having them. Then again the first five years of their life is kind of a haze for me so I won't discount it.
Day camp would be more than just a single day as well. I remember I would go to the park district's "fun unlimited" which was basically day camp but for a majority of the summer every weekday or maybe it was 2 or 3 times a week where you would do stuff like dodgeball/softball/basketball or activities like arts and crafts during basically school hours during the day.Day camp has been a term for a while, I suspect that's just another thing to make kids happy. If you called it an activity or experience, the kids would genuinely have less fun.
I can also imagine a child bragging about a funny-shaped stick they found. In either case, for about 5-10 mins before their attention wandered on to something new.B) The money isn't cooking class, they get like a t-shirt and a nametag out of it. Tell me you can't picture like a 7 year old bragging to their parents about their name tag.
Nobody tell Silvanus the real organizational intent behind the Prussian educational system, and its continued legacy as the dominant Western compulsory educational paradigm.If it was a for-profit, then yes, because they have a vested interest in doing so and lots of them have poor track records of exploitation and taking advantage. I wouldn't generally support leaving kids with people who have vested interests in exploiting them.
If it was a public service and not run for profit, then no. So that would exclude the US police and profit hospitals.
They're just, like, turning them into robots, man, you know? The man just can't handle free thinkers like us.Nobody tell Silvanus the real organizational intent behind the Prussian educational system, and its continued legacy as the dominant Western compulsory educational paradigm.
