| 843002 | 2009-12-27 05:50:00 | Always ends up with personal attacks eh? Terry's comment regarding the closing of threads is correct. If you start to take digs at each other instead of discussing the topic, the thread will be closed. Keep it up and the members involved will be given time out. I think when the only argument you can come back with is an personal attack, then you have lost the point. Good debaters can argue their point (whatever that may be) while keeping it above the belt while others start tossing toys out of the cot. Keep it nice please. |

| 843003 | 2009-12-27 06:59:00 | This one is kinda weird when its directed at a few apparently 'racist inciting' crowd here apparently... It starts off with 'a few posters here...' so isn't that immediately a ban? Not being a smart ass but you must expect a few comments if that is what the thread is about? |

| 843004 | 2009-12-27 07:03:00 | I descended to the level of some others here - I apologise. I started the day getting my son out of hospital after an unprovoked assault, I didn't appreciate someone accusing me of not caring about crime when they didn't bother to read what was written. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||

Not being a smart ass but you must expect a few comments if that is what the thread is about?My comment above was directed at people who target members with their comments. There is a fine line between *general* comments and targeting a specific member. I will repeat my comment - keep it nice or don't post it. Cicero and Prefect: leave off the smart comments please. |

| 843008 | 2009-12-27 07:32:00 | Unusually for me, I have nothing to say about the content of this thread, but I'd like to add some relevant information for us all the chew on . My wife works at an early childhood education centre (PC name for Kindy, 2-5yr olds) and has done for quite a few years . The number of inadequately parented children they get from 'middle class' homes is, on the one hand, utterly amazing, and on the other, literally terrifying . Vis: Four year-olds who are not toilet trained, socialised with other children, can't feed themselves (yes really) or do not know basic numbers, colours or letters . Children who cannot dress themselves, children who are 'toilet trained' but cannot wipe their own backside or fill their pants because nobody told them to go to the toilet . These ones are often sent to Kindy just a few months before they start school so that somebody else can get them ready for the real world . Children so badly (or inadequately) socialised that they cannot play with other children, or have to either be kept separate or closely supervised (hard to do, even with a staff to child ratio of 1:7 or better (schools have 1:25 or worse) . Children that bite, spit, scratch, urinate where they stand, throw food, scream for several minutes at a time, vandalise books, toys and anything else they can get their hands on . They lie, blame others for their misdeeds, and their parents seem incapable of managing them at all . There are children who eat anything they are given at Kindy (all healthy food) but their parents feed them junk food at home and say that's all they'll eat . So, these are not children from disadvantaged backgrounds, they are the children of 'middle class parents' who are financial enough to afford the costs of full-time Kindy, often while mum sits at home and does nothing . These are the parents who dump their children into Kindy at every opportunity and complain that Kindy is closed on Boxing Day, or at Easter or any other public holiday, in fact some want it open Saturday and Sunday as well . They bring their children in sick with flu, stomach bugs, measles, eye infections and all sorts of contagious conditions (you name it) then complain when they are told to take them to a Doctor and not bring them back until well again . Some of these kids last just a few weeks at school, then their behaviour is such that it is not safe to have them at the school and the parents are asked to remove them . This has been going on for many years, getting ever worse, and we wonder why we have so many dysfunctional teenagers and young adults out there? It is food for thought, when we look at youth crime and other antisocial behaviours . Billy 8-{) :2cents: |

| 843009 | 2009-12-27 07:38:00 | true billy, ive seen this first hand also, some parents have alot to answer for, the bad breed bad i guess the adage goes | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 843010 | 2009-12-27 07:43:00 | It must relate the the period the parents grew up in,where there appears to be no sense of responsibility. Jen would know! |

But most people too scared to write the truth. Beats me why couples have kids at all if they are going to dump them in child care places. You cant tell me this doesn't lead to mal adjusted kids. Although I dont see a problem with kindy 1/2 day from 3 1/2 to 5. |
