Did it ever occur to you that some activities can function as childcare? For example, dd was on the gymnastics team at our Y. There was also an aftercare program. Dd practiced 3 days a week, 2 hours a day afterschool. For a while I was picking up from school and driving her to the gym. The director of the aftercare program came to me and suggested that it was silly for me to leave work to get dd and then turn around and go back to work, when she was sending a van to the school anyway. So dd rode the dc van and went to practice and I picked her up when practice was over.

It really is ok for a single activity to serve purposes.

Please get over yourself? Maybe you should be the one to heed her own advice. Just a suggestion since you seem to be so "involved" in this FAUCET of a discussion.

Sending your child to the office and to the nurse in my school is two differnt places and yes it is a great thing.

BTW do you need me post the links where iam adressing that teachers are providing care for children?

You are taking that post out of its context to make your point.

Chaotic chemistry claims that her friend the kdg teacher is a dcp a baby sitter and my point was that no they are educators and educators do indeed care for children would you like all the links or just one...

and i thought you did not want me to repeat myself...lmao!

So in your opinion educators educating school aged children are both day care providers and teachers... i find that pathetic but hey to each his own.

apparently my inability to get that meaning from this:

"I dont think a day care provider a nanny or a baby sitter is a educator for school aged children in a school enviornment"

and

"A day care provider is not a educator a day care provider is providing child care to your child while you in general are working and unable to provide that care for your child."

i guess i'm just stumped why *you* would bring dcps, nannies, and sitters into the discussion if you are not discussing them, and how ““A day care provider is not a educator” fits what you are saying you’ve said.

btw, my dh, mother, sister, and dozens of other family and friends are teachers, and they would not agree with your claim that teachers are not inherently and necessarily caregivers. they are constantly helping children get along with one another and in life, in addition to teaching. the poster who pointed out that there is an inherent intersection in the fields is right.

Ladies -

We've got some terrific debating going on here but things are getting
too personal. Attacks will not be tolerated. To avoid having posts
removed or threads closed, please:

* Refrain from making comments about the individual people or
talking about each other in a negative light
* Debate the issues, not the people
* Consider your words carefully and remember to speak
respectfully to and about each other

Thank you!

When ds started kindergarten, the school day ran from 8am-1pm. I was a SAHP at the time. He stayed for an extra hour(until 2pm) every day in the aftercare for a couple of reasons:

1) He wanted to have a little bit of play time with his friends from school, none of whom lived anywhere near us.

2) The extra free-play time with kids from school outside of class was an important part of getting him up to speed in Swedish as quickly as possible (we only speak English and German at home).

I'm sure that other families have other reasons. In any case, those were ours....

<< Perhaps re-read it...So you do not agree that there are many different ppl/ professions careers even objects that teach children? i guess we disagree then. >>


How is re-reading it going to make it suddenly relevant to my comments?
