Watch out for children learning! (Score 1)

By giving your children, which are supposed to be the most important thing in your life, to daycare, you are explicitly opting out of taking parental responsibility.

Sorry, I don't buy this one little bit. If you opt to put your children in daycare, evening care, and keep them with a nanny/babysitter all the time, yes, you as a parent are opting out of raising your child. But this is hardly what is being suggested.

What is being suggested is that children be put into daycare during the work day. This allows both parents to work (having one stay home is not always an option, nor is having family take care of the child) without having to worry about their child. Meanwhile, the child not only is exposed to a new environment, but is exposed to new concepts, socialization, structured learning, and opportunities that they might not otherwise get in their own house (especially socialization with other adults and children their own age). This is important at a young age!

Ideally, a parent would care for a child. But today's work world is hardly perfect, and I see daycare as an excellent solution for parents who both have to work. It should never become a replacement for parenting, but it certainly does have its place.
