Daycare in Earnest:

Mom stayed at home and raised kids until she had to go back to work to do that as the only breadwinner. Then family allowance was a fraction of what it is today and even then covered only a fraction of the costs of essential services to take care of children if the parents are working. No doubt about whether I'd like it or not, daycare is a must especially under circumstance when the single parent has to go back on the job market and their is no older grandparent to lend a favour. The opportunity to make a difference in the way a child learns takes shape here. The liberals didn't manage well supplementing the increased costs of daycare and I doubt that a change in heirarchy is going to matter much. But if the government wants to make sure that kids get an early start to learning so that the quotient of illiterates doesn't rise and the quality of an educated job force further deteriorates, we're going to have to do something in earnest here.
