Thanks for making the effort to find an appropriate home for this item.

I think you could call any synagogue in your neighborhood and ask this question. They may not have a need for it themselves, but they will probably be in a good position to know who would. Alternatively, you could ask the National Museum of American Jewish History here in Philly.

They purposefully sent this to die because they picked a nonsensical schedule. They needed to have high schoolers go in the latest and elementary schoolers get in the earliest. High schoolers can get themselves to school largely, but working parents getting little kids to school at 9:20 was untenable on the face of it. They needed to push start times back and hour and have high schoolers go in the latest. They could even move most practices to early if necessary.

School was awesome and I loved learning and socializing. I was just cripplingly tired for more than half the day.

PPA left signs on all the cars in my area about 2 weeks ago. It said they will start ticketing and then towing if your car isn’t moved for the cleaning.

Hopefully that’s effective because I completely agree no one is gonna move their cars.

See, I always thought those thin wires were separated parts of radial tires from drivers riding on “may-pops” too long. Have to get a heavy duty bike tire to avoid them

I can double check for you next week, I don't drink it myself but had to go over there looking for fancy tonic water and was pretty sure it was there.

The buses are just driving around it lol. I live in this area and see the 17 just meander around this hole.

That’s not feasible here.

How did you come into possession of a shofar? That's a pretty niche thing to just randomly show up in ones possession, haha

How did you acquire said shofar?

There is a difference between school sucking because it is school, and school sucking because 16-year-old students have to be up at 5:45 in the morning to get there on time.

When I was in HS, twice per week my day started with morning swim practice at 6 AM. I would get home at about 6:30 PM. I definitely would not have wanted a later start time.

Spring was always great because I would be home by like 3. Actual start time for school was 7:35; it never bothered me, but maybe 10% of my classmates would complain

YMMV. I see all the things you say you don't see on your street.

the reddit answer is "dOnT hAvE a CaR" as if thats feasible for most people who live and work outside of CC + directly adjacent. let alone desirable. the trains are extremely limited, buses take half the goddamn day, its unsafe for women especially from dusk to dawn and almost always requires walking - which, in a place with scorching summers and wet cold winters - is unfeasible and undesirable for most people. and again, not safe for women.

can you even get to wissahickon from the northeast via septa? does it take less than 3 hours one way? and if you want to actually leave the city? forget about it.

stay classy reddit bros. fuck women's safety amirite?

there is no winning with people like you. they are targeting the dirtiest neighborhoods. what would your response be if they were targeting higher class, mostly clean neighborhoods? is that a better idea?

The gas mains in South Philly are old as hell, it's entirely possible that they fix one leaking spot & get sent back for another at the same intersection down the line

yea, thats why i said "if i was a student"

i understand im in the minority here, articles have come up about this before. i just wouldn't have wanted an hour taken from my afternoon. i had a job i loved, i had a band i practiced with, i had a social group. i would have an hour less of that if the schedule changed.

but like i mentioned, ill be curious to see how the students feel about it after a few school years in the schools that do implement it. maybe they will like it. or maybe there will be a "study" that determines that in the last hour of school, students are just as inattentive because of antsy teenage energy as they are inattentive in the morning because of sleep/waking up early.

whether youre there an hour earlier or an hour later, school always sucks. this isn't going to change that. i consider myself a leftist, but this type of stuff is just liberal pillow throwing. turn everyone into a soft fleshed amoeba that is guaranteed by scientific studies to be perpetually comfortable. then, once all resistance and discipline of the human spirit is extinguished, they'll start putting wires into our brains. comfort will then be programmed instead of legislated. utopia here we come!!
