"Shorty List" website is sign of what's wrong with BC child care

Excerpts from the article:

The Vancouver Courier reports on the launch of a website -- The Shorty List -- that will provide families with access to anonymous reviews of child care centres, schools and preschools in Vancouver. The idea is hard to criticize on one level, given that families have both a right and a need to know about the quality of their child's care or education.

And this is also why the site is a sign, or a symptom, of several problems with BC's current approach to child care. The site may hurt more than help, because it moves us away from treating schools and care programs as essential and core to our democratic society; moving us to a less fair, more unjust community.
