(The Center Square) – Ohio Republican governor candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is quickly backing away from an idea to send children to school year-round and extend the school day.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton posted a clip of Ramaswamy’s social media video, which outlined ideas to reduce the cost of child care, including sending students to school until 4 p.m. and keeping schools in session throughout the year.

Ramaswamy later deleted the video, and a new version without the school plan was uploaded, according to The Daily Beast.


Ramaswamy’s campaign told The Center Square that they believe Acton is trying to create an issue.

“Parents across Ohio are demanding a better education system for their children – and that is exactly who Vivek is listening to. A casual back-and-forth on TikTok is not a policy rollout; it’s a conversation with voters, despite Democrats pretending otherwise,” the campaign's Connie Luck told The Center Square. “They’re trying to manufacture an issue because they know Amy Acton’s education agenda amounts to the same failed policies that continue to let down our children. Vivek will keep listening to parents across the state and remains open to any option that gives our children a real chance at a better future.”


Republicans initially claimed that Acton’s camp created the video using deepfake AI, but the campaign confirmed to the Columbus Dispatch that the video was real.

In the video, Ramaswamy outlined plans to reduce costs for housing, energy, property taxes, health care and child care.

“I’m a dad. Make parenting more affordable by making school year-round and going til 4 o’clock instead of 3 o’clock so you don’t have to pay for child care,” Ramaswamy said on the original video.

The video did not include any discussion of increased taxpayer costs for year-round schools or an extended school day.

The school portion was edited out of the new video.


I couldn't find an upload of the original video without a faggot pundit speaking over it because search engines suck now

I've heard so much about indians these past few months from every possible source of information, usually because they inhabit some position of power and keep importing their dozens of relatives, that I now unironically believe they will be a majority of the United States by 2035.
 
You know what really gets me about this guy?

He's not an immigrant, he was born in Columbus to upper middle class parents in a white majority area.

His upbringing is pure Americana, it's a fucking Hallmark movie and yet he has zero affinity or kinship for his fellow Americans.

All of his loyalties and affections are for illiterate tribals in a country thousands of miles away that he's never been to.

This is why third world tribals can't be Americans and never will be.
 
What I find funny here is that he was hiding his true intent here in an attempt to make the concept palatable, yet it is such a bad and unamerican idea that it completely backfired on him anyway. He basically sells it to the public as a government funded daycare, which is a Democrat position funnily enough, but his real intention is obviously that he has contempt for the American people and thinks they are dumb and need to spend more time at school
 
Nobody, to include Vivek, is gonna offer a real solution to the public education problem. You want a fix, segregation now, segregation forever. The trick being, it doesn't need, with heavy emphasis on the ->NEED<- to be race based. The true quick learners get bored when with the normals and slow/disruptives as the normals do with the slow/disruptives. You need 2 to 3 different classes for each learner; this is a problem especially with young learners as they don't have the presence of mind/discipline to just take an easy A, they need to be engaged and everything is so exciting and yes they actually do want to learn more. The main problem is what you do with the slow/disruptives, and maybe it's not even a brain damage problem with the slows, because home environments also play into how well students can and do take in knowledge. The disruptives just need to be taken out to the field and shot or let to roam free, because they will do nothing but drag everyone down and harm the average. This is why private schools, home-schooling, and other solutions are picking up steam, because public school has the same problems that paid daycare have; your child is neglected if not abused and would be better served in a safer environment. Vivek offering to have a longer and more permanent daycare will do nothing to fix the issue of too many sleepovers and not enough mathletes.

Now onto a personal grudge I have, most accomplishments in schools are not long-term indicators of success; especially in today's environment, not even considering the H-1B problem, you get a lot more attention if you know someone and have an in, then simply having a stellar resume. So the shit about math camp and more long arduous study hours and shit that Vivek says leads to greatness are, like most modern talking points, short-term gains at best. Because there comes times in your life, where you simply graduating is more important that your GPA, where the work product and maybe published papers you put out are more important than what school you went to. Your GPA, Honors Society, Mathlete, Debate Club, etc are things that get you so far, but eventually, if you want to be a rocket scientist or whatever, no one really cares that you can recite Pi to the 200th numeral. I'm not gonna denigrate anyone who partakes in these events/clubs, but when you really look at them, you see them as feats of strength or parlor tricks that they are. Are they impressive because you know you couldn't do your times tables that fast, yes, absolutely. But grind it down to the base, knowing your times tables up to a certain degree is important for math, I won't dent it, but really grind it down to its base. It's something you do for the school to pat you on the head and call you a good boy, it's not gonna help you figure out a longer lasting lightbulb or whatever. And to go back to my first paragraph; if we were to take out all the disruptive elements in our schools (namely scholars and illegals who don't know the fucking language), we're not falling behind the known world or even Asia, which has a massive burn-out problem.

It’s because he isn’t a fellow American and never will be.
 
Whether you're right, left, or whatever, I think we can all agree that spending every single waking hour of your childhood caring about school is not, and never will be, an American value.

I got into my current career because I used to spend summer breaks fucking around with computers at a time when the high water mark for computer education in schools was a class where you dragged-and-dropped windows in Visual Basic 6. I also used that time to read and socialize with other people which is why I'm 10x more effective at actually working in an org than the Indians they keep pumping into this industry.

Maybe in India and Asia this kind of bugman race-to-the-bottom education style works and has merits, but Americans are not bugs. And we will not be shamed for refusing to be bugs.
 
Neither the students nor the teachers would tolerate a situation like this. The teachers unions would go ballistic at having their summers taken away. Plus it fucks up the whole idea of summer school for students that require it
 
Year round school is a good thing IMO, if you remove political teaching, up education standards, enforce truancy, and juvenile detention over out of school suspension punishments for what would be adult crimes. Obviously it has downsides but I think the upsides are better.

Children have become increasingly stupid because the difficulty of classes has decreased, more time in school is more opportunity to learn. Secondly, in a lot of poor or troubled areas of the country school can serve the purpose of state funded child care providing the parent more time to work and the child a place to be instead of on the street.

It's just a matter of getting away from the pussy culture we're in, then year round school has a potential to help but if the core problems aren't addressed it only punishes those who don't need it. I can see why you'd want it especially for Ohio's large and even smaller city districts.
 
The jeet doesn't erroneously believe this would make education better. I think he just likes the idea of American children suffering at what is essentially a 9-5. No ability to pursue their own interests outside school or have much time to socialize outside school settings. Little to no time for vacations and trips with family.

You think that gives him an affinity for whitey? Lmao, dude basically just spent his entire childhood being mogged. This is why a lot of these jeets and other nons like him in cushy white areas sperg out. Some sort of jock or just sociable guy was getting girls he couldn't and getting gassed up for things other than academic success, which I guess is all Ramadamadingdong had going for him. He's never gotten over it. He probably never will. He's like a goofy villain in a children's cartoon that wants to make it so children never enjoy certain things because he never got it have it.

Everyone hates modern schooling, why would you want more of that.
Last month was holocaust, this month its slavery. after that, how to suck a cock.

No, the western man needs time away from school to cultivate himself. Your inability to recognize this marks you as poor and brown (if not in the flesh then in the spirit).

Yeah I don't have a degree and that only slightly negatively affected my career as a programmer.

Though you mention a really big issue with how our culture treats computer nerd roles. The idea that you don't need social skills to work as a programmer is retarded and detrimental to the industry.

The nature of the problem you're solving needs to be communicated and negotiated from the client to the person who ends up implementing it. Sure in a big org you can have product managers who can soften the edge between the autists and the customers directly but realistically? Only slightly. A competent programmer needs to be able to discuss features and the technical hurdles to implementing them with people. It doesn't matter how much of a savant a given neckbeard is if they can't communicate with the outside world. (and in practice, I find a lot of these alleged savants to be morons and most of their acolytes are merely normies that are dazzled by tech language)

My Indian coworkers are shit at negotiating with clients. Recently they just insisted on hammering an efficiency issue which we absolutely could've worked around privately. So the client insisted on this more elaborate approach and now we're locked into it.

Social skills aren't optional in tech, regardless of the movie cliches about the savant neckbeard who defeats IBM or whatever.

This is probably the best approach, I think. Normal school year for the functionally kids and a really aggressive program for the retards to bring them up to normal levels.
 
This is one of those things a reasonable politician doesn't talk about unless they've got dictator powers.
You don't poison your youth vote by proposing year-round school, you don't make enemies of everyone moral by proposing ethical child pornography for pedos, you don't make the police hate you by "defunding" them and threatening their pensions in any way, and you don't denounce Italian pasta as cultural appropriation of chinamen noodles.

He's a second-generation immigrant, which, statistically, are worse in every metric from their first-gen parents apart from fluency in the host language.

Despite modern ideals, immigration should always be only done in absolutely necessary circumstances, and should only pull from culturally and ethnically similar nations, with few exceptions. Even when immigration was extremely difficult, when we pulled from culturally similar nations, and the nation was barely a step up from most shitholes, we still had to deal with all kinds of shitty immigrants in the forms of the Irish and Italians. Extremely culturally heterogenous societies can only (sort of) thrive under the rule of totalitarians in a caste system. Bringing in people from every corner of the world is a full-blown attack against western idealism.

20 years ago, sure. Whatever gets a kid off the internet for 6 hours a day everyday is what modern children need because the vast majority of parents don't control any of that and they have a phone or ipad in their hand at way to young of ages.

I don't see any chance we get back to a point where kids are going to spend most of their free time going outside, playing physical sports, or working as technology is increasingly crammed into everything. I don't even see most of them able to get jobs in the near future because as AI collapses job markets, adults will shift into the blue collar careers that still exist.

Just look at a chart for test scores - # of highschool graduates in the last 20 years (fyi it's lower scores, higher % of graduates) , we have to future-proof stupidity not wish for a time that in most cases is gone for the youth and the rest of them are funneled into universities that basically do nothing but indoctrinate them. I'd even argue year round schooling opening the possibility of earlier graduation so a 16-17 year can have two full years of life experience without school and the ability to work, play sports, go outside, travel, and just basically function for themselves before college.
