In another thread, the "unique" contributions of SAHM's were alluded to but it wasn't stated what they are. Let's play a game and find out what they are. First, pretend that as of tomorrow, all moms SAH and detail what will be missing from society then pretend that all moms go to work and detail what will be missing from society. I'm really curious as to what people think a world without SAHM's orWOHM's would look like.
If all the moms who SAH went to work then the library would move story hour to the evening and summer vacation bible school would be held in the evenings so that all kids can attend and not just the kids of SAHM's. Banks would likely shift their hours to later in the day and you'd see more 24 hour stores. I think there would be more home cooking style restaurants too. I think day care centers would improve because of increased demand.
If all moms who WOH suddenly SAH, you'd see fewer service industries around because moms could do things themselves instead of paying for them. The nursing shortage would be more of a shortage. We'd probably have a shortage of teachers too. There'd be fewer government services because there'd be less tax dollars to pay for them. I can't think of anything else right now.

What do you purpose then?
Personally I think the whole attitude about education needs to be changed.

This is all done in a group care education setting on a routine basis for the preschool set?

Isn't it really pushing though, if the child wants to learn?

Because maybe he wants too and enjoys it?

"....and why is that? Oh, I remember, because they are being cared for by someone else. So explain again how othercare is not a part of this debate? "
Yes, I dont see the point of staying home while the child is in FT school, because the child is not home... who cares if it's called school or othercare... doesn't change the fact the child isn't home @@

Something you missed was that, we didn't know the preschool was more difficult until we got to the kindergarten class and were into the year.
