[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the PPs who also has a small child in a DC daycare and I think 1238 PP said it best. To the FCC parent(s) who are upset about DCUM's role in all this, get a grip. THere is no "mean girls" nonsense going on here. We all love our children and are horrified and outraged that any place entrusted with their care could be so negligent. I don't know why you would consider that sentiment mean.  [/quote]

We also love our children and are trying to keep our shit together in the midst of this crisis and keep some semblance of normalcy in our children's lives.  You have no clue how hard the board and parents are working to deal with this and make institutional changes -- as quickly as possible.  I don't consider your "horror and outrage" mean.  What I consider mean is the quick judgement and readiness to bring down the whole place and demands for heads to roll.  If your kid has not been at FCC for four years, day in and day out, happy, loved, and nurtured, please think for a moment before taking out your axe.  And because my kid has been there for four years, loved, happy, and nurtured, this incident is unbelievably painful and horrifying.  I've been walking around with a heavy heart since it happened.  But I'm not going to burn the place down.  That's not a solution I want to teach my children.

As parents who send their kids to daycare/preschool, we all have fears, some more horrible than others.  It seems like everyone is projecting their insecurities.  If your child is at a daycare/preschool -- or anywhere -- do not for one second think this would never happen to you or someone at your school.  There is no institution so perfect.

There are parents who forget their kids in cars:  do you think they don't love their kids?  Do you think their head should roll?  Do you think those parents don't think about their children?  Do you think that after the incident the parent says, "Oh, I messed up!  I'll just do better next time."  No.  It is gut wrenching.  THIS is gut wrenching.  And if anyone thinks the parents, staff, teaches, and board at FCC are thoughtlessly moving forward, you are misinformed.

If FCC is moving forward the way it should, then the teacher(s) responsible for this will be dismissed.[/quote]
