Ontario Plans to Let Parents Leave 4-Year-Olds in School from 7:30am till 6pm
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/jun/09061507.html
“A sweeping change that would combine day care with kindergarten in Ontario schools is being proposed by Liberal Premier Dalton McGuinty. The plan would allow parents of 4- and 5-year-olds to leave their children at school from 7:30 in the morning to 6 in the evening…”
“Plummeting birth rates have resulted in the closure of over 300 schools in Ontario in the last six years…”
…”Acceptance of the program ‘will depend on how much importance people place on parents interacting with their young children…’”

Inconvenient children! We see them everywhere. I feed them when parents can’t be bothered getting up in am…or fixing meals because their “shows” are on… dry their tears when Dads scream at them to go away because in his way as he does some important thing like washing his car. Maybe we need free day care 7-7, 24/7 for all these people having children who then find them inconvenient?
That is craziness!! I must be one of the rare Ontarians who actually *likes* my kids, and find it a privilege to spend time with them.
I can’t imagine sending my baby away for ~12 hours per day.
Crazy! It seems that a lot of parents really cannot stand their own children. How often have you heard mothers, at the end of the summer, say that they can hardly wait until school starts? They will love this program!
I hear that all the time !!!Even my own sister can’t wait til her kids are back in school and counting the time when they will be 18 and ship ‘em out of the house( they are only 14)!!!
Sad !!!!
