  Have you had kids? Did you attend any of their doctor appointments?

  Knowing how often their diaper is changed is medical information the doctors will ask.

  yeah but you are pulling their attention for that, logging that is time they are not dealing with children.

    …do you think they aren’t dealing with other children during pickups?

      you would think they would have all these other workers that can cover while you talk to the parent. Also I would assume that mgmt is out and about more to help at drop off and pickup.

        So the same doesn’t apply for doing logging, which takes less time?

        Also, stuff gets forgotten, with a log done right away, stuff isn’t forgotten. You think as you say one person can remember the issues of 30 different kids?

        So, literally the exact same scenario as the logging, except it takes 10-100x as long?

    How long do you think it takes to log? That would take maybe 5 seconds max unless the ui is horrendous.

      And over how many children? So 30 kids 5 seconds each (lets hope they just have to click a button and not add fucking notes to each one) so like 5 min an hour just logging shit they could spend with the parent when they pick them up. God forbid its a real winner of a day and every other child is just walking into walls and tripping all over the place. I am sure they need this dumb shit added to their workload.

        Talking with parents takes far, far, far longer than logging something on your phone or a tablet. How is this idea not just a significantly worse time-sink?

        … there’s limits to how many children can be watched by a single caretaker, it’s like 7 in most jurisdictions.

        You clearly have no experience with this, so why are speaking up?

        30 times 5 seconds is 2.5 minutes, and that’s for a stupendously overworked person. Like “CPS call” levels of understaffing at what would be an unlicensed facility.
        A more realistic number is under a minute per hour.

    They’re spending that time doing diaper changes. They’re not attending to the other kids regardless.

    • HorreC@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      I would think that they dont stack a caregiver that hard with infants and full on running 2+ year olds. But I still would rather them just spend a few min talking to me then having to log shit.

        A few minutes talking to you (and every other parent at pickup) is way, way, waaaaay more time than logging. You say “just,” but your request is at least 10x as expensive.

        We’re just talking about doing a diaper change. I don’t know how you can call that “stacking a caregiver hard”.
