Comment on Incident
Quokka@quokk.au 3 days agoWe log this information for a whole host of reasons. Many parents sadly don't get the chance to speak to an educator in depth to discuss their kids day, tracking medical needs, etc. A lot of parents don't even look at this, but it's useful to have if it's ever needed.
My only complaint, and this extends to all the genuinely important paper work we have to do is that we never get enough time to be off floor to do it.

SOOO if the educator was, I dont know, forced to talk to them at pick up over the things of the day they could be more looped in to what the parents want and maybe better understand the groups role and abilities for their child. No you are right, this is better.

Some parents don’t have time. You knock off work, pick the kids up, and get home and prepare dinner so they can get to bed at a decent time. If you have older kids who need to get to other places, then there’s another constrain. If you need to get to the shops or bank or something you have to cut some tasks out to meet your priorities.

And just to be clear, you believe that this would take less time away from the other children?

with that person, no, but you can get all the info out to the parent and have an actual conversation with the people that care for your child. Like I said mgmt would be able to grab those children that need watching with those care givers talking to parents. The idea you think this is the better option is my issue. Its just parents who wanna look for others to blame yet they wouldnt spend 5 min a day to talk to the person they leave the child with.

Management can not just slot in to replace an educator.
Especially not when you have 6 rooms of adults picking their kids up after finishing work at 5.
The simple matter of fact is there is not enough time to talk to ~20 families each evening and give a summary of their kids day.
