Reply to comment by McJumpington in can someone meteorologically explain why snow is adverse to pittsburgh or does mother nature just not want to see us pgh skiers happy? by d071399

Yeah. My kid will be going to Kindergarten before too long here so I'm not willing to rock the boat or change anything. But yeah, I'm excited for "free" childcare, despite my angst about him getting older.

Wait, so you guys pay for daycare and they still ask volunteers to work for them? Despite being paid? A lot I might add…I fail to see how this is acceptable.

I don’t have kids so I may be ignorant to the details behind it all. I’d be pissed if they asked me to work for free despite my paying them for a service. 🤔

Just saw the post below, I see it is in fact absolute BS lol

No, not volunteers to work. They're asking families to volunteer to not send their children that day to maintain a legal or practical student to teacher ratio. These kids then stay home, but because of how these places operate and need to pay their teachers and other personnel, you get no discount or anything. You'd just eat the cost.

Yeah but it's hard to blame anyone. What should happen is free early childhood education for families subsidized by the government.
