Maybe 1-2 hours of the school day can be used for instruction. The rest is DAYCARE. We don't need more public daycare facilities. Anyone who has spent time around kids knows it's a struggle to keep them confined for any length of time. It takes a Disneyland to keep most kids engaged (even with sugary snacks and loud distractions) until they're physically unable to stand any longer. CCSD imprisons kids for 6+ hours per day, and expects them to learn ... what?

Minor League Baseball. Major League RIPOFF!

Reno [Aces play in a] new $50 million downtown facility with skyboxes and lavish suites and beautiful picnic areas
I wouldn't go see those corporate welfare queens. As the article points out, that new Reno stadium is being paid for by a special tax on auto rentals. The team is owned by a bunch of rich NY bankers. Why don't those Wall St thugs pay for it with their own money? Likewise, the article points out that LV's car rental tax is going toward construction of that new performing arts center downtown. BOYCOTT THE LAS VEGAS PHILHARMONIC.
My favorite local team is the Wranglers. They don't cost taxpayers a cent. They play in a private arena. They pay market rent. They don't have to award taxpayer-funded scholarships to get young men to play for them. They pay attractive salaries. Fans have to pay entertainment tax on the price of admission. The Wranglers are tax PRODUCERS.
The 51's are typical of major league baseball teams: tax CONSUMERS. Boycott them. Let them move to NYC where the lumpen taxpayers are forced to cough up BILLIONS to prevent super rich professional sports teams from moving to NJ.
