Summary

"Thanks to a history of neglect, child care in America is expensive, scarce, and of questionable quality. Yet too often the response is not a push for governmental action but a derisive "why should I pay for your child?" At best, our leaders make the case for child care on bloodless economic grounds: we need a place to put the kids so parents can work. The problem, I believe, is that we skipped a step, a step so fundamental that it has torpedoed the chances of winning an effective child care system despite decade after decade of pain that crosses geographic and ideological borders. We have never established that good child care belongs among the pantheon of American values. Because of what it means for the nation, that is exactly where child care belongs. Raising A Nation offers a new framework for thinking about a comprehensive, inclusive child care system: one that supports families in all their diversity, whether they want to utilize a licensed child care program, family member, or have a parent be the primary child care provider. I posit 10 distinct yet interlinking cases for why every American - whatever their political affiliation, and whether or not they have young children or any children at all - has skin in the game when it comes to the country's child care system. This groundbreaking book opens up conversations that can finally push child care from being seen as a private responsibility to being seen as an essential part of the American social fabric"-- Provided by publisher.
