Say “No” to Day Orphanages
The Dr. Laura blog,
www.drlaurablog.com
17-Feb-2009 |
I’ve railed against day care for
children for years, calling those centers “day orphanages,” which brings out
the claws from those who disagree with me. I got an email recently from a
child care worker who makes the case quite eloquently for raising your own
kids and not leaving them in the hands of others.
"Hi, Dr. Laura. I don't get to listen to you very
often [jokingly sobs] because I work at a child care center during the days
you are on the air. I just want to let your listeners know there is no
replacement for mom and dad. No other person will treat, nurture, guide or
give your moral values to your children better than yourselves.
I had to get a job, so I chose to work at a child care center.
Remember most or a lot of the child care workers are young with no children
and no experience. We certainly don't get paid much either. I'm not saying
they don't care for your child, but NO ONE can do it like mom or dad. Please
get a smaller house, a less expensive car or just tone things down, so a
PARENT can stay home and raise their children."
I'm Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Now go do the right thing.

Unfortunately, even with the closest
scrutiny, a day care can be a place where a child becomes a victim. Our firm
is sensitive to the issues that parents face when day care abuse is
suspected.
A child's behavior regarding the
day care or child care center often becomes one of the first indicators of
abuse. Excessive crying, refusal to go, or expressions of fear may seem
minor, but they could be representative of a larger problem. Along with
psychological or behavioral symptoms, physical symptoms of abuse should not
be ignored. From minor injuries, such as bruises and cuts, to major injuries
such as broken bones and damage to internal organs, children can suffer
permanent physical and emotional damage from day care abuse.

Politicizing
Preschool
by Dan Lips

29-Dec-2009 |
These proposals are based on the
(incorrect*) belief that “investments” in early
childhood education yield significant long-term benefits for children
served.
If the president is right, we should look forward to a safer, healthier, and
welfare-free world sometime soon, thanks to our federal “investments” in
preschool**. In 2009, (United States) taxpayers will spend $25
billion on the federal government’s 69 federal preschool and childcare
programs.
Unfortunately, little is known about whether these programs work. One might
think that Congress and the administration would be focusing on evaluating
these programs’ effectiveness before spending another billions (more) on
preschool. Actually, there is reason to believe that they are instead
ignoring empirical evidence that undermines the case for a new federal
preschool program.
