Michelle Malkin is justifiably horrified by a spate of hot car deaths involving young children in daycare centers. She tries to tie it into her theory of how Americans are indifferent to their children, but I’d be interested to know the average IQ of low-level daycare workers (i.e. the one that perform the actual childcare). Among my friends, relatives and aquaintances, women of average or better intelligence who want to work with children become teachers, social workers, child psychologists etc. The lousy pay assures that few people who are smart enough to earn a college degree will stay in the profession. This might create pressure for more courses to qualify for state certification, but I’d rather see the standardized test scores, along background checks, for anyone minding my child. But I’m sure NO state certification exam will include an IQ test.
