Interview by Donna Ricks
October 2003 |
Brian (Robertson): Congress has held hearings in recent
years about how the money slotted for child care, which has increased
greatly in the wake of welfare reform, is being spent. Some of the stories
were so unbelievable that the Congressman on the committees investigating
found it difficult to believe. Millions of dollars that were not traceable,
people taking money for day care centers that didn't exist.
...yet you still have demand for more subsidies and more money to be
invested in the day care system and yet we can't track the money being
spent.

Brian (Robertson): It's unquestionable at this point
according to the social science data preschool children suffer both short
and long term effects from too much time away from parents particularly in
commercial, group (day care) settings.

Brian (Robertson): ...thirty years ago, the child care
center was so unusual, the commercial form of child care for preschoolers,
there was no regulation of commercial child care on the part of the state
because there were so few child care centers.

Donna (Ricks):
Nobody wants to offend..., so they simply don't talk about problems in day
care or what day care environment is preferable.
Brian (Robertson):
It's really, I think, a conspiracy of silence because the
information, the social science, has been there for quite a while and
it becomes more and more conclusive as more studies are done. As you
indicate there's an ideological bias against telling the truth on this issue
of the effects of too much commercial day care on young children.
...I think that's what you see going on the way the media and even the
social science community itself tends to downplay the very clear evidence
that shows detrimental effects from day care.
