OK, that is a bit harsh, but I have worked too many day care centers here in the United States that the women accept a lower pay and less benefits 'to help keep child care costs low so moms can afford to go to work'. and the moms are NOT working to put a roof over their head, or food on the table. Funny thing is, the teachers are working cause the have a financial need to work! In these centers, the moms worked for the extras in life. Like two new family cars that are high-end to mid-priced. and the new house in the allotments that is 2000+ sq feet. plus the cleaning lady, gotta pay her. Hey, you don't see doctors charging less 'to help sick people'. No, you work, you are paid your worth. Luckily, government preschools pay more than day care centers, but still less than a livable wage for a man raising a family. Name: Email: Subject
