The WSJ article reflects my experience.
The Frazzled article is really demeaning and demoralizing to child care providers (who are like a part of my family). I would be lost without them and am grateful for the incredibly high quality of care, education, and love that my children receive. It is expensive but it isn’t the teachers’ fault, so I don’t know what the article thought it was gaining by insulting them.
