But that is only a general assessment of the damage. So this tells us that there are much better Day Care facilities and at the same time it tells us there are far worse. So, even though the average is “somewhat” acceptable we should be focusing on the far worse facilities. We cannot allow what has become so ingrained in our every day parenting lives to become cheapened because the average Day Care facility assessment is “close enough”. What about those children in the facilities that only breed poor behavior? Do we sit back and let those places continue to pump out bad kid after bad kid?

But like one commenter on my previous post had said, “I don’t know that day-care in itself causes these problems, but it does remove the consistent, parental influence that’s needed to reinforce good behavior.”

This brings up a good point and I think Jared nailed it. So what is it they are NOT doing? I raise 5 kids on my own and I know there are certain laws that prohibit more than 5 kids per Day Care Staff member. So what is it they are not doing that I personally do with my own kids? For one I know I kiss and hug my kids. This is something that staff members can not do and get away with without lawsuits. And who wants some stranger hugging and kissing your kids? We have lost a lot of trust these days from all the pedophiles out there.

But what other things? Are these day care facilities breeding poor behavior really doing their jobs? Maybe some feel it is time to socialize with co-workers and gossip all day leaving the kids to run around and are not completely supervised? I mean who really knows. It would have to be tested at each Day Care.

But do you think it could be parents?? I mean let’s face it. We don’t like other people telling our kids how to act. We certainly do not want other people spanking our kids. I think it has to be the combination of that and those baby sitters don’t really want the responsibility.

What do you think? I certainly think something needs to be done despite the average consensus that it is “ok”. It is good on an overall scale but what about those places that are far below average? Isn’t it worth all the effort in the world to raise our kids… the future of America… the best way we can with the best facilities?
