Although I consider factory farming of children to be slightly different from the description in this article. Often, early childhood educators, working for corporate are often forced to 'move' children throughout the school building in order to 'massage' the 'numbers' to save on labor hours. Some programs operate that way on an everyday basis, which often forces primary caregivers to be 'sent' home for the day as early as 10 am, approximately 3 hours after the school has been opened. One such preschool management team was so addicted to the practice, site directors were required to 'report the numbers' every 30 minutes throughout the facility, to the corporate office. In fact, it wasn't uncommon for the corporate office to call and suggest combining classrooms in order to release classroom teachers for the day. The children in the programs end up suffering from an inability to truly connect with caregivers. It is unthinkable that an educator, who may also be a parent, would not want to have their children enrolled in the school they work because of mistrust for their colleagues. Factory farming of children should be shameful for those committing the act, regardless of your definition.
