Dr. Mary Newsome., Letter, "Day care steers kids toward drug abuse",
Chicago Sun-Times,
31-Jul-89 |
By subsidizing day care the government
will contribute to the next generation of drug addicts.
...Even the best of day care centers cannot substitute for a mother's
presence

Lisa C., quoted from the
newspaper article, "Pressure on for Better Child
Care System"
by Cynthia Whitfield,
The Register-Guard,
Eugene, Oregon, 26-Nov-90 |
"My kids were constantly sick with colds, flu,
fevers, stomach pains and diarrhea when they were in a center"
"...Yet the center gave me no credit for the days (my children missed).
Meanwhile, I missed days from work. So, I felt the center was benefiting at
my expense for the disease (my kids) got there in the first place."

Money safer than children
-
We deposit our money with banks -- secure; insured; strictly controlled
by the Securities and Exchange Commission; staffed by highly paid,
adequately educated, well-screened employees who are bonded -- for maximum
interest return.
-
We leave our children, our future, at day-care centers -- loosely controlled
by government; poorly staffed with underpaid...employees, part-time or
holding several jobs, overworked, mostly with no formal training, who
probably have never been screened for social, emotional or psychological and
medical background. Children stay there longer than with their parents
while awake. Such a casual approach toward our future treasure is
dangerous.

Barbara S., former practicing
lawyer, Fairhope, Alabama, as quoted by Mary Frances Berry, author of
The Politics of Parenthood: Child care, Women's Rights, and the
Myth of the Good Mother, ©1993,
P19 |
Barbara Shroyer of Fairhope,
Alabama...expresses amazement at her "generation," accusing parents of
pursuing "any avenue" to assure a "perfect baby" but being willing to
have an institutional care-giver "during its most vulnerable developmental
period." She worried about the effects on "day-care children
of...early pressures to conform."

Day care hurts kids
(1) Day-care kids, as a rule, have more behavioral problems than kids who
stay at home.
(2) Day-care kids are less secure than kids that stay at home.
(3) Day-care kids are not... "more advanced" scholastically...
(5) Day-care kids cannot and do not get the individual attention kids at
home get.
...I have seen this first hand, and it is not a pretty picture.
