Let your kids go through NORMAL childhood experiences.

I hate these OMG my kid got a bruise and needs immediate attention because he/she is the center of the universe.

Get over it and move on, shit happens.

That will scare the little bastard so bad he'll be shitting bricks for years.

EPIC WIN!

for a defense attorney...

the way you have to do it is have your kid pay the class retard that's almost twice the age and size of the other kids for a good shanking.

Sorry, but the only way they could be 100% "supervised" is if there were 1 adult for every child, constantly staring at them. Sorry, this stuff happens. You might be trusting your kids to another group of adults, but you're still responsible for them. If you can't trust them, find another daycare. THAT is the consequence. Its still a business after all.

I already took photos of the bruises on her face.

He pays for her to be in a safe environment. If they cannot provide this then something needs to be done. Yea, kids get hurt all the time...but that doesn't mean it can't be avoided at times. The day care needs to have enough people on hand to keep an eye on the kids.

So you're saying they should implement kennels for all the kids? Prevent physical contact between the kids, brilliant!

The best part of being a kid for me was getting into fights, the stuff you get arrested for as an adult.
Whether I got bloodied up or the other kid was of less importance

Yup like I said, pay for a nanny or deal with life happens.

You aren't going to get a top notch filet mignon at a Burger King even if they start serving them.

Good service is expensive. Great service is doubly so. Most shoot for cheap and wonder why they didn't get all the bells and whistles.

Then they try to sue.

Its not what happened that would bother me.
Its the fact the teachers did not know how it happened.

WTF??!?

have you read?

Kids do things that there is no way in HELL even with 1 on 1 supervision that you can always catch.

What happened was kids being kids. If a kid is too aggressive or hurts another, they need to be sat down and talked to/punished.

Since they are most likely not going to expel the kid who did the deed, you should find another child care alternative. Your child is NOT safe there, as evidenced by her face.
Totally unacceptable.

when it comes to latinos, yes very wrong.

when it comes to asians, he's spot on.

That's a pretty nice stereotype you got there.

Good luck switching schools whenever someone touches your kid.

Again.
I said nothing about what the kids did.

If it were 1 to 1 supervision and you couldn't tell what happened, then you need to quit your job.
I'm betting this is one of those places that thinks a 1 teacher to 20 child ratio is fine.

while i agree shit happens when it comes to kids. the main teacher should not be leaving a sub in charge.

the pre-school my daughter went to had a max of 8 kids with the main teacher and the helper. they did not leave the room without someone comeing in to cover. the main teacher (actual college degree people. there was 1 per classroom) did not leave unless another teacher was to watch. wich was rare.

this is my only issue with what happened.

You get what you paid for.

So I guess 2 parents at home with 1 kid know exactly what their kid does every second of the day while all three are under the same roof.

If you believe this you are living in a fairy tale.

I didn't pay for anything.

They know their child and that makes a huge difference.
And if you have a 3 year old at home, you should know what that child is doing.
Maybe your of the mindset , put a child in front of the tv and go about your business ?

you are funny. You do realize there are sometimes you want to not watch your kid (of course you know ahead of time what is available in whatever room).

You are very ignorant or just trolling.

Even the best parents have kids that have accidents that the did not witness physically happening.

You sound like all the tools in their first semester of child psychology that think they know better than all the parents in the last 3,000 or so years.

Times when I didn't want to watch my kid , when they were 3 years old.
No, I can't think of any.

Ignorant or Trolling ?
I raised 4 kids to adults and they are more respectful than you, so I must have done something right.

a substitute teacher should have all the qualifications the regular teacher does.

*edit*...WTF?! is a teacher being qualified as having an actual college degree?

AFAIK in public schools at least all teachers and subs have to have a degree and a teaching cert. here.

not always. not in preschool anyway. usually the "substitute" is not a teacher but usually someone who is training.

ahh get it...they don't call those teachers here though.

Our pre-schools have teachers, our daycares have whatever meets the qualifications. For the cheap places it's usually at the level of a high school senior or worse most of the time.

When someone portraying an adult cannot have a conversation without resorting to trying to attack a persons character, that is showing a lack of respect.

- kids are unsupervised


Yet you let your kids go there anyway.

I'm right there with you with the parental anger, but let's face it....daycare workers are about as bright as McDonald's burger flippers. This is a known hazard, unfortunately.

You might have a case if it happens again with the same boy, but at this point, I don't think there's much you can do.

This statement is moronic.
