[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, lots of 'interesting' comments. But here is a thought related to the main topic. [b]Does phone use make you less likely to choose a nanny over daycare? In daycare, I would think that it would be easier to monitor (inappropriate) usage by employees.[/b][/quote] I worked on a day care center while I college. If you only knew![/quote] Honestly, as a center director, this isn't easy. The teachers are in their rooms without me, taking walks without me, at the playground without me. So I can't know if a teacher is on the phone all, some, a little or never during the day when they are working. And I've had it all different ways: I've written plenty of employees up who are texting or making phone calls while in ratio/supervising. I've also had teachers really frustrated by another teacher who is on the phone too much, which is actuallyl good because then I can "catch" a teacher on the phone and deal with it. It's the hidden use that is hard to deal with! But, no, not all preschools/centers have teachers on the phones, just like not all nannies and parents are on the phones while with kids! [/quote]
