Britain: "Parents of babies to be given 'learning diaries' so experts can
monitor children"
This
article about new Orwellian tactics was brought to our attention
via Sweden. It seems there is money for everyone but the parentsespecially
lower income parentswhen it comes to child rearing.
A similar initiative have begun in Canada. For example see
www.investinkids.ca: this corporate ($20 million/year) and government
sponsored organization gets funding from some provincial governments to do
"parent training."
One reason parents are classified as "lower income" is because they are parents, and
another is that they may be prioritizing unpaid child rearing work over
paid job work. The openly contemptuous attitude towards lower-income
parents must be labeled for what it is: a form of discriminationwith
hate speech attached to itas repugnant as racism.
Families would have higher incomes if academics, bureaucrats and daycare
industry personnel were not all getting billions in public funds that once
went directly to parents. It seems highly unethical for
academics/researchers to be very well paid to study lower income families,
like lab rats, who are themselves unpaid for the work they must do for the
academics' research.
