Government Expansion Of Child Control

CalMatters has a story on whether the State Of California is going to provide childcare workers a significant pay raise.

Those that control government want complete dominance over the children. They aren't content just to put youth in government indoctrination camps ("schools")--they want to fill even more of the children's time. Future adults raised by corporatism, what could possibly go right with that? So sorry independent childcare providers, maybe you'll get a pittance pay raise to maintain the illusion that government wants to help children or cares about you. But it's probably time to look at a career change, just like the genuine educators fleeing the government "schools" because they are paid crap and have to put up with plenty.

For years family child care providers — the vast majority of them women of color — have said they don’t get paid enough by the state of California to cover the costs of their businesses. Their fight for better pay and benefits, a two-decades-old effort, is reaching a fever pitch in California’s capital this year.

Bargaining for a new one this year, the union has called for a 25% bump in reimbursement rates the state pays to providers who care for low-income families’ kids — and state funding for the union to set up a trust to issue retirement benefits.

The state’s reimbursement rates are generally tied to how much providers charge in the private market — but because many child care providers lower their prices to meet what parents can afford, the rates have ended up artificially low, in a system that a state-commissioned report last year described as a “market failure.” That in turn results in chronic shortages of child care for parents.

Because the current rates are so low, a new model could be dramatically more expensive for the state. In some cases, providers may have to be paid three or four times what the state currently covers.
