Judy your comments have stood out. i am intersted in your interpretation of the role of the educator eg quasi mum role model to children. This, i believe is not your role or the role of any other practitioners. Parents are not to be replaced by professionals who are payed to care for children. Without the parent/s consent of taking over their role, i feel you have crossed the line of professionalism (Mother theresa like role). You label your work as 'love, care' etc, i'm worried about such terminology being used in relation to our work with children. Your comments and generalisations about men seem to be uninformed and incomplete, your narrow minded view about the role of EC educators seems to based on a long term ambition to 'save the children', I suggest Judy that you do some sole searching and refocus on the issues of working with young children as an educator rather than a saviour.
