I haven't read all the responses, but wanted to say that I think cameras are a very good idea. I worked in a center that was associated with the university, so there was a two-way mirror that looked into my classroom. There were frequently students, professors and parents back there and I always vowed that if I needed to put my child in childcare, I would go to a place like that. I've also worked in non-videoed centers and the behavior of some teachers shocked me.
But, what I'd really like to say is that it is so unfortunate that we even have to be having this discussion and I would sooooo much prefer that centers had the money to pay qualified teachers a real, living wage instead of hiring anyone with a warm body. Not that these incidents couldn't happen when all the teachers are qualified (educated, experienced), but man, to think that we have to watch our children while they are being watched is sad and scary.Comment
