Daycare Revisited
On this day, Columbus Day, my employer called me to ask if I wanted to work. Whether one works or not depends on how many children are at daycare, for which we have to fill in a teacher-to-child ratio which differs for each age class. I declined the opportunity to make minimum wage for the mere 3 1/2 hours of hard labor (and trust me, it's HARD) and enjoyed the rest of my day off. I still cannot help myself but to ask why one would take a child to daycare? Is it because there are no available babysitters? Can you not trust anyone with your children (and in this day and age, it is not surprising). I was raised with family down on a nice piece of land with a few farm animals, some domestic, and having the time of my life playing, uninhibited, with little to no rules. To me, this seemed the better choice. Through this, I learned the do’s and don’ts of everyday society. I learned, either by trial-and-error or by getting in trouble, what was appropriate and what was not. Allowing a child to have these barriers, these closed doors, these rules that limit their imagination, is just so wild to me. I grew up climbing trees at the age of five, being around homicidal chickens, in an environment that contained poisonous plants and animals (with the proper supervision, of course) and see how I turned out? I’m in college with a plan for my future.
