Yes, but then also it's still so, so very expensive for the parents. Like, one of my classmates pays $200/per week for her daughters to be in daycare. It's...just a financial mess all the way around.

And I mean, from what I've seen during my single day there, all of the teachers do enjoy their jobs & take immense pride in their work (not to say that they don't gripe & complain like everyone else, but y'know), but...they deserve to be fairly compensated. They work so, so freaking hard, often from sunup to sundown. Lord have mercy.
