Bill 10 Update

[Lee-Bee]

I can only imagine how incredibly frustrating it is for those that have put so much time, energy, effort into fighting this bill. For many this is indeed your livelihood, your passion, your career, your life.

It is important to remember, for your sake so you don't get hopeless or defeated that this field is, as mentioned above, largely made up of SAHM, immigrants and just random people that thought it an easy job. So, while you have this 70,000 member number in your head it really isn't feasible to expect them to be fighting like you as a large number of them don't care because it doesn't impact them like it impacts you. Some really have no clue, and don't care to have a clue. Some will just continue as is not caring about the laws (if they didn't before this bill why would they after).

So...keep all that in mind...know that for those that have put up a great fight you are recognized for it. Not by all, but by those that actually care.

I've done what I can on my own end (and it pales in comparison to many). I don't agree with the Bill 10 but I also don't agree with how things are status quo. The are clearly missing the mark here they get that changes need to be made but they haven't a clue where or how to improve things. AND to complicate matters the ones that NEED these laws and limits put on them are the ones that are not fighting this bill...because they don't know about it, don't care about it and won't be bothered by it. Which is exactly why they need to make other, more important changes to improve childcare.

Don't let silence and inaction defeat you. For some, like me...my silence about what I have done goes unspoken because it pales in comparison to a few on here that are working so hard. I think many others on here are keeping tabs on what you post, are well aware and greatful for what you ladies do...they just aren't commenting on the little things they are doing to make a difference. The ones that don't care aren't on here listening to you...because it takes a lot of effort to log onto a daycare chat board on a daily basis to remain informed (not only about the bill but all aspects of daycare). So, they just aren't here to be impacted by your strong front on this manner.
