Blair's Nanny State
A sociologist argues that a nanny state can't replace family and that
child-raising is not something that can be taught by so-called experts http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/index....ID=1&subID=918 Government ministers assume that most parents are too stupid and in some cases too slothful to know how to bring up their children. Last week, the children's minister Beverley Hughes helpfully reminded the nation's mums and dads that they ought to sing nursery rhymes to their baby. Yesterday, Tony Blair told us he is to spend £4m creating a network of experts and super-nannies to save children from their parents. Many commentators have criticised the arrogant assumptions that promote the invasion of family life by these experts. But the question that needs to be asked is: experts in what? Certainly not in parenting. |
