[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I, for one, learned a tremendous amount from my DC's preschool teachers.  Because they have degrees in child development, unlike myself![/quote]

And many of us prefer to learn about our children and their needs by actually raising them. So- sounds like everyone's happy![/quote]

So just to confirm – when your kids go to kindergarten, the teachers are raising them? Right?[/quote]

My kids are in K 2.5 hours a day. I don't see how 12.5 hours a week compares to the average hours (40+ when you allow for commute) that the average child in daycare spends. Do you? Plus comparing a newborn or infant and a 5 year old is inane in terms of the sheer amount of nursing/nurturing/total dependence a baby has versus a 5 year old. I rely on teachers to help teach my children academics just like I rely on their swim coach to make them competitive swimmers. No one would love or nurture our babies like we would- period- so the choice to have a parent care for their own offspring didn't sound as wildly far fetched to us as it does to some of you. I also wouldn't want my 5 year old in k then long days of aftercare or endless camps all summer. They are still little at 5. If you prefer that lifestyle great- we didn't think it best for our kids when we had the option to have a parent home with no financial strain. [/quote]
