The next issue on board is that year round school would improve the social life of a student. a. Elaine Warrick-Harris says in her book (Childhood Educaiton) that families have more opportunities to take vacations during the off-season, so they can enjoy lower rates and less-crowded areas; though this may seem helpful some families this may lead to problems in families whose children are on different school calendars b. Since vacation times are staggered and may interfere with system-wide teacher training this can create stress by conflicting schedules will not depreciate the time a teacher is usually home with their family III. Finally the third problem that arises is cost for year round schooling a. Instead of nine months of cafeteria food for the kids it would be a year’s worth, this goes too for the electricity, and also the payroll of the teachers.
Wilmott and Young studied the symmetrical family in 1974, the study carried out was to see if the traditional roles of the household had changed for example was it only the mother’s job to look after the children and tend to the house whilst the father went out to work. Young and Wilmot studied families within London and discovered the traditional conjugal roles have changed somewhat for the better, as husbands and fathers are beginning to help out more within the home. Willmott and Young found that symmetrical families were found more common among young couples who were socially isolated from their extended families and work mate because they had a lot more time to do privatised activities. They see the rise of the symmetrical nuclear family as a result of social changes such as; • Changes in women’s Position- married women going to work • Geographical Mobility- More couple living away from the communities in which they grew up • New Technology- TV, computers, phones, labour devices • Higher Standards of living Although the higher standards of living could be a result
Children became consumers much earlier, because of the growing number of single -family households. When mom had to go to work, this created the need for children to be responsible at an earlier age. Children would shop for goods and services that otherwise would have been delayed until much later. The culmination of these events resulted in advertisers recognizing the buying power of children. Children were now the target of every
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Work demands and family responsibility have increasingly come in conflict as mothers have become a large part of the workforce, and fathers have begun to share in the caregiving responsibilities. Working parents at B. Insurance Agency need to care for their children.

Child care programs can benefit employers by decreasing absenteeism, providing higher productivity, and having a lower turnover rate.
Parental Involvement Plan Kaplan University Introduction of Early childhood Education CE101 Lynn Morrison February 18, 2014 Visualize you are working with children from the ages of 3 months to 8 years of age in a child care center. Majority of the children that attend the center are special needs and receives early intervention or on an IEP. Several of the children’s parents have a difficult time attending events, meeting and participating in activities that are held at the center, due having to work more than one job.

Should colleges provide on-site daycare facilities for their students? Many people who go to college find it very difficult to get good day care service for their children. Many students have one to three small children who are below the public school age and must have constant care. I find to assist students with childcare issues; colleges should provide on-site daycare facilities for their students. If colleges provide on-site daycare facilities for their students it will allow them to concentrate fully on their work, reduce the number of students missing class or absenteeism, and retention rates will increase or the dropout rate will reduce.
Welfare Reforms The dream of most women is to have the traditional family, which includes a husband and their children. There are more single mothers in this day and age that face more challenges on the way to achieving the American Dream. They find it hard to provide financially even working a full-time job because the pay is normally minimum wage and most still rely on public assistance to make ends meet. Some single mothers lack education and work experience, which prevents them from obtaining a decent paying job. Budget cuts to welfare programs are making it that much harder for the single mother to provide the necessities for their children because these supplemental programs are necessary to the day to day workings of a family.
The lack of on site childcare causes many people to miss work with the odd schedules we worked which required many working late into the evening and on weekends. One of my sources stated, “Today many businesses face recruitment and retention issues, asking how to attract and keep the best and brightest. For some, on-site childcare is a valuable employee benefit as well as a sound business decision. It is important for a business to think about its responsibility to understand the family issues faced by its workforce as well as the larger issues.” (“On site child,”) This benefit would be greatly appreciated by the employees who a parents of small children. It’s only logical for our center to implement the on site child care since it is currently in many of the Verizon call centers nationwide.

Childminding is caring and watching children usually from 0-8 years of age. Childminders can be hired on part -time or full-time basics. Childminders are trained, insured and qualified in first aid. E2 Using childminding in a home environment can be more flexible than other forms of childcare which is a benefit for parents who have to work out of school hours and need someone to look after their child after or before school. Also for parents who have young children and cannot yet get them into a school or nursery due to their age, so need someone to care for their child while at work.
