WE lived in every ISD off 1960 for the past 40 years, on and off. And Dallas, Galveston, Beaumont Waco Austin, San Antonio and St. Louis a bunch of times. And we moved to HISD when son wanted to go to PVA.
We were in Klein, but the institutional racism was more than DH could take, so we recently moved to CyFair.
Years ago DH worked for a company that employed many women in 5 different states. Part of his job was to know where to open an office and where were the women employees coming from, what to pay etc. Even that many years ago, in order to afford to pay for childcare, the company would need to provide it or pay enough for them to get it.
The directors were all married to SAHM, so they thought on site day care was too costly. DH also thought kids should go to school close to where the parent worked instead of a neighborhood school. That way, they would have more time together during the commute, be closer for conferences and programs. It would save mom on after school care and relieve the ISD of transportation cost.His boss thought he was nuts.
A mom working will need to earn a bunch to pay for taxes, going to work expenses such as clothes, lunch etc. Many don't calculate the cost of being employed. After the childcare, car cost and taxes, many would be better off staying home. Making dinner from scratch is far better than picking up burger doodles on the way home and cheaper.
As far as Texas is concerned, they care more about the location of light switches than training of daycare employees.
So we are arguing the same point apparently. My kids went to an excellent daycare, and most of the employees were young moms who got a break on their own daycare expenses. They were sweet and took care of my kids really well. I hope most of those girls furthered their education and went on to bigger things. The pay sucks but there are some perks.
They got training too. They were more than babysitters.
I see three MAJOR things happening here and it's even displayed on this thread.
1. We, the rational, recognize the economics of this insane proposal are not only insane, but will cause more people to become unemployed.
2. If economic morons like Elizabeth Warren keep slinging a ton of new proposals, some people (even on here) will capitulate to one or more of the absolutely insane ideas which are economically infeasible.
3. No one has even considered what these day care people will be required to train in, which will undoubtedly be even more indoctrination of our children into socialist, Marxist or communist ideology. Think this isn't the case, then why are our children being taught in preschool about Johnny having two daddies, and if you disagree with that you're somehow a bigot? Or being taught that Western Civilization is evil because we consume more than our fair share? Do you really think this isn't happening to preschoolers?
These people ALREADY control your children's education K-12. Now they want to go further, starting the indoctrination of these kids at an even younger age. Do NOT be fooled by the BS claims they make about why they want to do this. It is without a doubt to completely transform Western Civilization into something you likely wouldn't even consider possible. This all started with the origins of political correctness, also known as cultural Marxism.
By the time every child has reached 10-12 years old here in the US, they've undoubtedly seen "The Story Of Stuff", a film created by the Tides Foundation, funded by socialist George Soros.
it is not the federal govts role to be arbitrarily managing price points of child care labor.
The state departments of education regulate child care in most states, determining minimum qualifications for licensing, which may include teacher credentials. If you don't want minimum qualifications, criminal
and child abuse background checks, etc. for early education centers in your state, by all means take it up with your state legislators.

Wrong again! Most early education centers are open year round, because you know, parents tend to work year-round, too. We do have a week's break at Christmas, and we're closed 4 days for state-mandated in service. Otherwise, we're open. Teachers get the same vacation as the rest of the organization's - a private nonprofit - employees.

Yes we know, the next step is for you to want to raise taxes so the Govt pays their wages.
Please point out where I said that.

Sorry my School taxes are already high enough. I don't want to pay for your kids daycare also.
Many child care centers are private, either nonprofit or for- profit. The only way your school taxes would go up is if the child care center was operated by the school district.

And education? I provided early education for my kids in the evenings when they were young before bedtime.
Bully for you. I'm sure other parents do that as well. What does that have to do with child care?

So why are you and Warren concerned about what Private Child Care Facilities pay their employees?

How do you feel about adulterers teaching children? what about leading the country?
I don't concern myself about what 2 consenting adults do by their own choice. What I do care about is very young or even older but still very impressionable children being taught (indoctrinated into believing) this stuff is normal. I also care when our children are indoctrinated into believing that capitalism is somehow evil and that equality of outcome rather than equality of opportunity is somehow virtuous or that the government is somehow better able to decide what is in our best interests, as long as it is a socialist, Marxist or communist government.
I see you're attempting to use cultural Marxism in order to shut me up. The thing is, you have no idea who you are dealing with. I'll stand up to you, those who attempt to be the free speech police or thought police, all day long because I know you aren't intelligent enough to come at me head on, debating ideas, without attempting to somehow discredit me because I refuse to accept the ideologies you demand to push upon society. Don't be a coward. Stand up for your sick beliefs, proclaiming them from on high, announcing to the world what you DEMAND they think in order to be acceptable in your eyes, while I only demand people should be free to choose, including being free to abstain from the mental illness nonsense people like you seek to push, no... seek to IMPOSE upon society.
I'm sorry you're not able to connect the dots there.
And you are unable to answer a question.
Why should you or Warren be concerned why a Private Company pays their employees?
