“Dr. Daniel Armstrong, director of the Mailman Center for Child Development at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, says the sequester could have devastating consequences for the children being booted off the rolls.”

I don't know how it is going to devastate anyone except Baby Mama who won't have a place to put her little darlings while she screws around all day. The kids certainly don't learn anything in these daycare holding cells.

It may actually devastate the so-called teachers who won't be able to find another cushy job that pays like that one where they can't be fired for incompetence. It has absolutely nothing to do with teaching children, period.

He probably had to say that. After all, his boss is Donna Shalala.

We are educators in this family. Head start is a program that allows non citizens to not learn English. They can send their children to these programs to learn our language so then don’t have to learn and teach them themselves. Head start is a parent not parenting most of the day.
For their older children there are all of the after school programs that last until 6PM. You can now drop your kid off at 7:30 AM have the school feed them breakfast, lunch, and keep then until 6 in the evening so you don’t have to pay for childcare. Someone has to pay for that child care and the professionals who babysit their children. Several of the parents who use the after school programs here don’t even work. There is nothing to stop them from picking up their kids after school and taking them home. They choose to not parent and leave the child at the school. If you think that after school programs include teaching and learning, think again. They play games, watch movies and play on the playground.
And we the citizen taxpayers pay out the but t for all of this.
I will shed no tears if parents have to actually parent their children again.
