[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the college requirement is great, but I also think mothers should consider taking six months to a year off from work at a minimum to be home with their baby rather than put them in day care. The longer kids stay at home, the better. We need to value caregiving as much as we value working outside the home. Making a college degree a requirement is a step in the right direction.[/quote] What about fathers? And why the first 6 months? At 6 months, my baby needed a stable caregiver, not necessarily his mother. It was sure hard on ME to go back to work (got that sucked) but he was fine. Now at almost 5 he knows and needs me much more than he did when he was 6. And yet, I am now mandated by the government to send him to school 6 hrs/day .... [/quote] You may homeschool your five year old if you believe he needs you more now, than when he was a six month old infant. But somehow I don't think you'd be interested.[/quote]
