Loathing Daycare

In the daycare environment into which parents
thrust their children, there is no space and there is no opportunity for
personal growth. There is only a low-paid babysitter who sticks you in
the midst of the growth pattern of a dozen other kids.
It's almost like raising kids has become akin to
raising rabbits or hamsters.

At the daycare center, parents entrust their
children to strangers; strangers that have provided them with a
babysitting rate that was probably cheaper than the other daycare centers
they visited upon. At these centers, young people who are paid low
wages and who are, typically, poorly trained, usually provide the childcare.
The childcare may be lax, it may be inattentive, or it may simply be
abusive, but it may be difficult for parents to gauge the overall quality of
the services.

In a typical daycare unit, there a numerous
children with few supervisors. Whatever the laws for supervision may
be, it is not sufficient to replace real parenting.

There is no peace, for a daycare kid is trapped
in a ritual of group games, group projects, and group trips. The
activities are planned, as are lunchtime and naptime. Solo time,
however, is not planned because it does not exist. A child is forced
into this groupthink* whether he likes it or
not. He has no access to his own "things", his own comforts that he
chooses, or his own hobbies. He's there to be babysat and to go
along with the rest of the group on its little projects, no matter how
uninteresting he may find them. And he is expected to do that for
eight, ten, twelve hours a day, every day.
*Groupthink is a concept that was identified
by Irving Janis that refers to faulty decision-making in a group. Groups
experiencing groupthink do not consider all alternatives and they desire
unanimity at the expense of quality decisions.
