As usual you form your opinions and make claims on subjects you no nothing about.
Because YOU have never heard of it doesn't make it so.
My grandson in his senior year of high school was only required to take ONE course, senior English, because he had already fulfilled all the other requirements. The school offered some college level classes so he took them. He could have attended the Community College.
My granddaughter took classes at the local Community College in her senior year instead of taking some useless elective classes.
Many kids today have the required credits, except maybe for senior English, to graduate early,
And this isn't new. In my senior year, 1965, we had many students in a "Work for Credit" program. They attended class half day and worked have day.
Please do some research before making blanket statements, "I never heard of a HS senior attending school less than full time".
Jeez, Louise! Such an impassioned response to a statement I stand by. I never heard of it! Period. My youngest graduated in 2005 and while there were a few kids taking maybe one class at the local university, virtually all the seniors were in school all day. I might add, if one graduates early, one is not in school.
child labor
tax cuts for billionaires
privatization of everything
And teabaggers oppose:
teachers
public schools
labor unions
In short, they support all things favorable to the wealthy and oppose all things favorable to workers. And yet, they become spittle-spewing angry when anyone says they're pawns of corporatist manipulation.
No wonder they think Palin and Bachmann are intellectuals.
Hey, kids used to get 6 cents a ton in the mines, I'm sure Massey and the Koch Brothers are all for that.
That will also solve the day care problem. The problem is that we keep thinking humanity plays some role in this

You seem to be very comfortable with "teabaggers." Personal experience ?
Sounds like Portland creep seeping northward into Maine. Next thing you know the settlement of liberal elite that populate VT will be edging over the maple curtain to join in with MA and Portland folk at the end of the Boston railway to smother the rest of Maine in left coast blather and social science. Quimbly land is spreading.
This is the ultimate goal of the hard right tea party. Abolish the middle class and labor laws. Open sweat shops, no benefits, no environmental control, child labor, working 12-16 hours a day, making pennies an hour at best, turn the US into a third world country while the fat cats laugh all the way to the bank.
And I'm sure that you can link the Tea Party Manifesto that outlines all of this.
Unless of course you are simply an unhinged liar.
