Day Care Dos or Don'ts - Just Don't - Or Do, if You Dare

When you think of a day care, what images pop into your head? Do you se animated little children playing with lettered blocks, mini locomotives, finger paint, and puzzles while frolicking around a brightly-painted room? Do you imagine all the butterflies and rainbows and unicorns and fluffy stuff? What is that's not the whole story? What if, beneath the surface, something darker looms and waits to prey upon the ignorant?

Why was day care even begun? I mean, weren't families doing just fine with women staying behind with the kids at home? Supposedly, the reason of its beginning was to free women from the confines of the home in order to pursue a fulfilling, man-equalling career? This insinuates the idea that there is something wrong with staying in the home to be with children. How far has society fallen to come to that kind of conclusion. For a movement supposedly "for women," it's ironic that Feminism seems to take a stance belittling certain women who do not conform to their thoughts.

What happened to the pride of a woman instilling right and just principles into their children, the futures of society? For all anyone knows, someone at a day care could be filling children with ideas that could destroy not only their lives, but everyone else's, as well. "We are all winners." Really? Is that supposed to make people feel better about themselves? The statement merely gives people an excuse to think little of a loss because they "tried their best." Well, a few years back, I got second place at a competition and - pardon my language - the feeling sucked big time. I was so close to winning, but I ended up being the first place loser. Now imagine being the winner. How would it feel, after slaving endlessly to get where you are, to have everyone you beat declared a winner? There would have been no point to your effort. you might as well not work as hard since the outcome will always be the same, right? This, my comrade (or not), would be the beginning of laziness, if not clear enough yet. It's not exactly a what you'd want children to get from federally-funded education, is it?

If federally-funded, then who calls the shots? Who teaches the children? And what do they teach them? You won't really know. For all you know, some Communist/socialist in disguise as a "good guy" could be brainwashing the future of the nation right under your noses. However, if a parent were to take the responsibility to actually be a parent who cares for and "instruct a child in the way he should go," the family would know exactly who teaches a child and what exactly goes into their heads.

Then again, maybe that was the point of so-called "public education," as the federally-funded day care might as well be included in - to brainwash. Maybe I'll never surely know. Maybe you never will, either. Wouldn't it be nice to know something?
