Ok, I waited a day to post, b/c I figure I'm probably taking this OP wrong, but this is just my humble opinion............

No college degree here. My choice. I got out of school and did what I had wanted to for years. I became a stay at home MOM! My degree is in Motherhood! I take all I learned, both good and bad in raising my 29 and 27 y/o DD's and apply that today. I take the years of helping in church childcare, Sunday School, VBS, Wednesday night programs, Helping as a regular Volunteer at school......I use this as my experience.

I must have been doing something right (without that degree), b/c my house is where all the kids hung out. During the junior and high school years, I had 15-30 kids at my house every Friday night.

I think sometimes the ppl with the "degrees" need to experience a little more of the real world and less of the "degree" world.

I agree with you 500%:::::: Here is a little story:

I was a foster Mom for 3 years and the social worker (no kids of her own) once told the Mom of one of my foster kids, to NEVER spank her child again, and the Mom ask her why and the social worker said "I have been to school and read so many books and was taught you Never spank a child".

So we were in the waiting room and this same social worker came in with another 4 years old boy and he was screaming, kicking, spitting, and pulling the social workers hair... I was setting there with my foster girl and the Mother. The Mother got up and ask the social worker "where in your books does it tell you how to handle that child"::::::. She also said "I am a mother and you are not and NO book or school is ever going to teach you how to handle a child, it may help but there is nothing like hands on experience"!! She told her also there is NO manual for a child because no two children are alike.

She told the social worker that boy needs his rear end wopped::

So my point is...someone can have 10 years of school and book training, but let me tell you ....There is no two children alike and experience is way different than reading a book.

Awesome post, Unregistered.. I was struggling to read it, so I thought I'd help a few other folks....

lmao you crack me up

I agree with you 100% SandeeAR. When I am taking in interviews for potential clients I often get asked what my education back ground in childcare is, they get a solid straight answer...I AM A MOTHER!::

Thanks Ladies! I always took my occupation as a MOM, VERY seriously!

Little People...Sorry didn't mean to leave you out of the quote. I was just rereading the thread and realized I did. Thanks for th 500% back up!

Me too. I used my better judgment and deleted my initial thoughts before I posted them ::.

I figured I should cut the OP some slack once I realized, after reading her other thread, that she'd recently either been let go from or quit a center that she felt had some serious problems.

Don't just tell us we ****. Show us how we ****.

If you have "worked in the field of early childhood for 25 years and have experience teaching, directing, did graduate work" then put that edjuamacation to work and school us fools.

I shall be your student.

Teach ;-)

LOL:: That was my first thought too. That is why I waited to post, until I could do it in a better frame of mind.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one that took it that way!


Waiting on the lessons OP!

Ummm...OK

The OP's post was useless. If the post was intended to be useful, it didn't meet it's intention. Like Nan said, don't just tell us that we ****, tell us HOW we ****. I would also like to point out that when someone takes the time to point out problems, then it would be much more helpful to offer up solutions as well.

OP, your post was the kind of post that makes providers feel inadequate if they are just beginning in this field. It was harsher than it needed to be and it defeated the purpose of forums like this to even exist. The providers who are here are asking the questions and sharing their feelings because they want to do their jobs to the best of their ability. It's good to see providers asking for advice and other providers offering suggestions or even just listening. Your post is the kind of post that can set providers back instead of being "enlightening".

If you want to point out issues, then you really need to offer up some solutions as well.

:::: I am a healthcare provider, as well... I toyed with "stool sample" and "undulating mass" but the double entendre was not as fittting....

No, not really....but it is funny....

I LOVE Dr. Suess....

I think the "Little Acorn" works, too..

"I'm a little acorn brown, lying on the cold, cold ground.... Everybody walks over me and that is why I'm cracked you see? I'm a nut, in a rut..."

Think that was written by a childcare provider????
