On the positive side, they also found that time spent in high-quality day care centers was correlated with higher vocabulary scores through elementary school.

So they grow up to be ARTICULATE, disruptive brats. :)

Ping for reference. Substitute teachers are as aware of diruptive children as anyone on the planet.

Didn't the University of Wisconsin publish a study in 2000 that stated much of the same? If I remember correctly, it was quite the buzz for a few days, then the women's lib groups started to bring out their experts to quickly repudiate it and it just went away.

This is really no big deal though, you just put all those brats on Ritalin and they will be just fine....

[Aquinasfan]

longest-running study of American child care has found that keeping a preschooler in a day care center for a year or more increased the likelihood that the child would become disruptive in class

And the Dems will still insist on "free" schooling from birth through age 22. Why?

(Hint: School is not about learning.)

Our son had no daycare or preschool before kindergarten. And despite people telling us he needed prep for "socialization" purposes, he is very well behaved in class. Educators really devalue the importance of a child's contact and emotional development with their parents.

I grew up before the daycare era. But I had two parents with professional jobs at a time when this was uncommon. There were times when I was disruptive in class. That these things are connected is entirely believable.

the increased disruptiveness very likely contributes to the load on teachers who must manage large classrooms

What exactly is a "large classroom" these days? When I was in school, there were at least 60 pupils in any given classroom and there was actually law and order, for the most part. Those feisty old nuns took no "stuff" during my grade school years nor did my high school teachers.

As a man, I'd never ever ever get involved with a woman who wanted a "career" over her own children. If she makes enough for me to stay home, fine, otherwise, I work and she stays home... but you put your dogs in a kennel when you don't have time for them... you DON'T do that to your kids.

Jeez . . . I don't even have children, and I coulda told 'em this.

"there was no control group, so determining cause and effect was not possible"

Somehow this is never mentioned when the topic is global warming or some other "desired" cause/effect relationship...

[Old Professer]

I thought we were encouraging socialization skills?

They learn, at a younger age, how to rise to the top of the pack by bullying and dominating others.

Another one, and my last ping'o'the night. Just because some mothers work, kids are in day care and still turn out okay, or some mothers stay at home, raise the kids who later go to ruin, doesn't change the truth. Being which, kids are generally speaking much better off at home with Mom than being raised by hired strangers. Especially when little. Infants??? To put infants in day care is hear breaking.
