Problem one: Decent quality child care is hard to find and expensive.
Problem two: People can become stuck on welfare because if they took a job, they wouldn't be able to afford day care for their children while they were away working.
Solution: Instead of simply demanding that welfare recipients
"find a job or else", give them the option of taking child care training classes and then working in a day care center (or opening their own center). This gives them a valuable skill, a decent job, lets them stay with their children during the day, and gives other people a good place to leave their kids during the day.

'Welfare case' does not imply 'bad person'. In any case, you would be entrusting your child to a 'well-trained ex-welfare case'. |

Somebody explain Jeremi and Jerimi2 to me....assuming they are the same person, doesn't seem to be a case of "forgot password/create another account", so what's the deal? |

Oh, and here's another case of failing to select a category when posting a new idea. Go get him, Bristolz....grrrr ;-) |

This seems pretty standard practice among the more enlightened social security systems. In Britain and many other places, the unemployed (including single mothers) can receive a variety of state-funded training. The British Labour government's "New Deal for Lone Parents" offers help with training, childcare and finding employment. |

Of course, being a parent doesn't necessarily mean you could be a child-care professional. But I would say, baked. |

Peter... that's very offensive. |

[UB] Does that mean that it the person who does the training already has 6 kids that they take one away? |

Jeremi2 was an account that I when I mysteriously couldn't log into my Jeremi account for about 3 days straight. I figured my password for Jeremi must have been munged somehow. Then Jeremi started working again. |
