Where do Heidegger and Aristotle come into it, csamcsog?  Both my kids went to daycare, and while they got pretty good at arts and crafts and developed their social skills, they studied neither classic nor modern philosophy.

I imagine if subsidized daycare is a creeping malaise, we should also quit subsidizing the public schools and make parents pay full pop for that, too.  Same goes for universities and community colleges.  Why should my tax dollars pay for someone else's education?

Or just bring back child labour.  That would fix everything.
