Daycares just keep the kids alive until their parents come to pick them up.

..if you think about it, you'll
realize that kids in day care are raised by other kids more than the
day care workers. That's frightening! |

"You go to (check out daycares), and
sometimes the workers are saying, "I don't know if you want to be here.
I don't know if I'm going to be here next week. I don't know if she's
going to have anybody.' It makes you kind of leery. If they
don't have a staff, they can't operate. The majority of (daycares)
don't seem to have degreed teachers or a real curriculum set up. It's
'We're here. We can make sure they're alive when you get back,'
and that's that.

The effects of daycare on American
Society
...You cannot trust anyone as much as you can trust yourself. Say you
get a brand new Lexus*. A complete stranger needs a car and has no one to
turn to but you. Would you lend him your new Lexus? Probably not. A Lexus is
expensive, not to mention insurance. What if they were to wreck it? If you
would not let a stranger borrow your car for just a few hours, then why
would you let a stranger take care of your baby (in a day care) all day everyday? Your
child is irreplaceable.

I am very interested in reading the
study on children in daycare...that found... that children who spend their
first years in daycare are more prone to being aggressive when they reach
kindergarten. This is of particular interest to me because of the
large numbers of "angry" five year olds that
we have seen in the past few years at my school. It is hard for me to believe that such children can
have as much anger as we sometimes see. These angry children come from
varying socioeconomic and racial groups.

I have been telling my colleagues
that we are teaching a generation of 'day care' children because most of
them spent a lot of their childhood being raised by someone who not only had
to look after them but 20-30 others just like them.
This year I have had so many students that were disrespectful, not only
to their classmates, but to me as well. They will argue with me,
backtalk me, and not think anything is wrong with doing that.

My child stayed home with myself and my
mother (I taught part-time) for the first eighteen months of her life.
I put her in daycare...when I went back to work fulltime.
During the six weeks that she was there she developed
two ear infections, rotavirus, pneumonia, and several sinus infections.
Other than a few colds, she had never been sick before. I'm not
sure if Rachel was there (daycare) long enough for it to make her more
aggressive, but it definitely made her sick! She is now home with my
mother fulltime while I work.

"Put the children first"

My wife and I can usually tell in a few
moments which child is raised by Mommy and which is raised by a nanny or day
care.
When our first child was born three years ago, my wife wanted to stay home
to raise him, but she wasn't sure she could do it. Having almost completed a
PhD education, she was subjected to significant internal and external
pressure, lack of social supports, and the question of whether we could make
it on one salary.
My wife took advantage of her year-long maternity leave to solidify her
convictions, and at the end of that year she wrote a letter to her employer
informing them that she wouldn't be coming back as she now had a much more
important job--raising her son.
Baruch Hashem*, we now have two beautiful sons and there is a third on the
way. Raising children is not easy, but there is no amount of money in the
world that can buy what a mother at home provides. You can see the
results in the children, and you can also see the results in the mothers.
Give a life-long blessing to your children, and give a blessing to
yourselves -- put the children
first.
