[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a child in an infected room I have to say my opinion throughout this process has changed drastically.  At first I was grateful they were looking into the carpets, having what I was told by the director, a professional will let them know if mold was growing.  And I was happy they moved our kids to the fellowship hall where they had what I thought would be a safe room. Whether or not they had to combine classes for the time being did not bother me.  I was angry about all of the threats and parents who were making what I thought was too big of a deal.  Then the inspectors came and shut down the school.  I am in a huge bind for child care and can not afford to pay what some of  the teachers are charging to "help" the parents and form home daycares.  All of this however, does make me think.  What I thought was a mistake on the parents part of being angry and making a big deal, I no longer think is.  I pay for my child to go to a daycare that provides a safe and healthy place for my kid to learn.  My standards for safe and healthy may be different from the next, however we have inspectors to let us know what are the state and federal standards, and at a minimum we deserve to have those. Although I did not originally want them there, they came.  And CDC was not up to standards.  They were not communicating their plan with the parents, and they were faulted on more than just the carpets and leak problem.  This shocked me.  I would have thought they would have known that the fellowship hall was not a legal place for the children to be.  I didn’t know, but isn’t that their job?  Not only this, but the teachers I loved (not all of them) and the administration that I thought was more together and caring, has shown that they are not.  Many teachers (who are getting paid while the school is down) are taking care of the kids and forming home daycares in parents homes.  The administration is complaining about the parents who complained instead of accepting that they were opening against code.  What was not my favorite place to begin with (but due to dc daycare waitlists, and a reasonable feeling of being content for now) had become a place that I am really disgusted by.  For those of you who say just "move your child", I would ask you to tell me where?  I am now looking. [/quote]
