If your daycare has a camera, it is simply for recreational use, not for you to watch your child with. If you want to do that, just leave your damn child at home with a macbook (kidding, obviously, but do you get the point?).
We ARE doing our job. We DID NOT lose your child, we're not idiots and your kid can't even reach the door to get out of the building.
A child moved up into my classroom recently and her parents are the most obnoxious parents in the WORLD. Her parents called this afternoon saying "I can't find my child where IS SHE?!" They were told she was in my room, and conversation ended. Then, they CALLED BACK saying they still couldn't find her (maybe because they're doing an AWFUL job potty training her, and she peed herself and had to change her clothes...).
Seriously? I picked the kid up, shook her in front of the camera, made her wave, and made an evil face at the camera.
Would it be rude to make a sign that says "Do your work and stop wasting your time watching me" for the kid to hold up for them?
UGh.
dude, I've been reading your blog and I feel so bad for you... just the fact that you have cameras in your center! It makes sense, but that seems a little Big Brother...
ReplyDeleteI had to subscribe to your blog though because I can relate.. I'm finishing up my child psychology degree right now and volunteering at a day care but I've been working with kids for the past 10 years so this blog is really entertaining! I agree with pretty much everything you've written :)
