[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked in daycares during college. Until you spend all day/every day at them, you have NO WAY of knowing what goes on there when parents aren't around. [/quote]

Duh, says everyone.  That said, I'm pretty sure my spunky, happy kid who runs into his teacher's arms everyday isn't being abused.  If he is, shame on me.[/quote]

I have a kid in daycare. There is a huge continuum from "being abused" to "neglect leading to detergent swallowing" to "benign neglect" to "lukewarm supervision" to "acceptable engagement" to "well-cared for."  I think most of us are probably getting care for our kids in the middle range. [/quote]

This is reality. Daycare is not perfect care, hopefully it's safe care. If you are expecting daycare to be like Disneyland everyday, you are being unrealistic. These people don't love your kids, they get tired and overwhelmed by the stress of the job day in and day out. Like you would.[/quote]

Exactly.  Just like parents do.  And teachers do, when your kids, you know, go to school unless you plan to helicopter via homeschooling. [/quote]
