You could not pay me enough to be a daycare provider. I’m a father of two and feel overwhelmed sometimes…I can’t imagine taking care of 10-20 all day everyday.

I think daycare is different than parenting in that your job as a parent is raising a productive, compassionate, and loving human, while a daycare provider's mandate is "dont let them die before 5 pm." Both are important jobs!

At least in germany, Kindergarten is an institution of education and knowledge where kids are supposed to learn things and develop skills

And chronically underpaid and underfunded. Where I live there are over (or near, can’t quite remember) a thousand children waiting for spots. These are children (mostly from poorer families) that are missing out on important education and socialization.

I wonder what kind of carer/child ratios they have. 1 to 10-20 seems unsafe.

Ratio at. My child's daycare is 1:3. 1 is a lot but 3 seems kinda manageable.

This really just depends on how desensitized the person reviewing the content is. I imagine most of us that grew up exposed to the internet in the late 90s and early 200s are pretty desensitized to violence and grossness.

Stuff involving kids is hard to get desensitized to for most people, though. That's the truly hard job, are the ones who have to review things like child abuse materials.

I know this is a misplaced answer to the other comment but it fits almost perfectly.
