A Major Decision
by Anne Morse, boundless.org,
Boundless Webzine, 24-May-01
|
In all the screaming over the Belsky study, one
thing is clear: Self-appointed "women's leaders"
are ignoring the needs of mothers and their children. No matter
how many studies expose the shortcomings of daycare, their answer is always
the same: We need MORE and BETTER daycare! Why
can't they listen to America's moms, who say, in overwhelming numbers, that
they'd far rather be caring for their kids than paying someone else to do
it? It doesn't seem to occur to these leaders to call, not for
the daycare mothers don't want, but for more and better ways to help women
take care of their own children.

Your Turn
Debating Daycare
by Anne Morse,
Boundless Webzine, boundless.org,

Author's Response |
(Daycare advocates suggest that) there are no
ultimate truths about family formation and the needs of children; that we
can simply design our own reality, one in which it "works" to dump kids in
daycare for 10 hours a day during the first six years of their lives.
But children's needs cannot be wished away simply because they don’t square
with our personal wishes. We have to take a hard look at what works for
children -- backed by solid evidence...

The Preferred Child Care is Mother's Care
by Gregory Flanagan,

28 Jul-01 |
"Wirthlin Worldwide conducted a nationwide
poll...on behalf of the Family Research Council. Surveying 1,004
adults in the U.S. they asked which kind of child care they believed was the
most desirable. "Across the board, regardless of race, age,
partisanship or income level, Americans rated care by a child's own
mother as the single most desirable kind of care for children.
...Commercial and government centers were rated the least desirable."
-- reported by Charmaine Crose Yoest in an
article titled "Behind the Push for Day Care ... PARENTS AT HOME: Still the
silent Majority"

The majority of low-income families do not
purchase child care...
(So much for the need for affordable subsidized daycare.)
