[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]

He may not be being abused, but is he spoken to kindly? Is he shamed? Yelled at? Belittled? Laughed at? Left to cry or throw a fit for hours instead of being helped through the emotions? These things aren't necessarily abusive, but they're damaging. And they happen at daycares without anyone having a clue.

Do your kids ever just wear you out? Do they have moments where they're just impossible or absolutely insane? Multiply that by 10-15 kids and then by about 10 hours a day...every day. This is what it's like to be a daycare teacher. I did it for about 6 months, and then I realized I was getting frustrated with the job and I didn't want to take it out on the kids (like I saw all around me), so I quit. No one. Not even the kindest teacher in the world can keep their cool 100% of the time. [/quote]
