Should children be raised by corporations instead of families?

Question

Think about it. Here's what happens when you let families raise children:
1. People have kids that they can't afford to support
2. Abusive or neglectful people, even violent criminals, are not prevented from having children
3. There is no control on population growth
4. Parents have to spend 24 hours a day being responsible for kids (and a lot are not responsible enough to be trusted with this)
5. Parents don't have to be qualified to raise children, or even know the first thing about parenting
6. Even good parents allow their emotions to interfere with a child's well-being
7. Bad kids go undisciplined

Answer 1

No.

1. Corporations downsize everytime they think something isn't going right.

2. Abusive and neglectful and criminals are often allowed to run a corporation. A lot of CEO's become criminals from running companies too.

3. There are many corporations who have gone out of business because they have allowed the company to overexpand.

4. Managers are responsible for their employees and regularly don't have a clue as to what those employees do.

5. A lot of the corporate world do no have degrees in the area that they are working. (Seldom does a graduate work doing what their degree is for.)

6. Even good managers allow their emotions to make decisions (over facts) to decide how something should be managed.

7. Bad employees go undisciplined.

Answer 2

Apparently, you don't know any kids that were raised in institutions. It is common among intelligent, upper-class types to want to solve problems with 'more control' but it is a bad way. The problems with families and children are all rooted in economics. Kids don't go bad if the parents have the means to give them what they need. Corporate control is the cause of the problem, not the cure. It is people in charge of corporations hoarding everything they can and giving as little as they can to the working class that has caused the problems that you listed 1 through 7...
With a more caring, human distribution of wealth:
1. People could afford to support thier kids
2. People would be less abusive neglectful and violent
3. Birth control would be more affordable...more people would have it and use it.
4. Parents could afford quality child care and domestic help.
5. Parents would have more ability to be quality parents.
6. Parents would not be as emotional from lack of sleep, being over-worked, under-paid and frustrated with life.
7. Parents would have a clearer mind to keep thier kids straight.
By the way, the alternative to controlling everything is nurturing everything good and letting nature take its course. Corporate control is evil and de-humanizing.

Answer 3

I was fortunate enough to be raised in a good family and I feel my children were raised in a good home. I don't think ALL children would be better off raised by corporations. However, if families prove to be unfit, those unfortunate children would be better off in a home.

Answer 4

Despite all your brilliance, the family is still an integral part of growing up. Most children are not brought up in the environments you are speaking of, although it might seem that they are. Children do manage to get along better in the world when brought up in a family style environment.

Answer 5

Yes! That is the best idea I have ever heard of! The best would be any prescription drug companies! As you obviously know, they care the most out of any corporations.
Then after that ,we'll all go smoke crack!

Answer 6

corporations? meaning whom exactly? the government? I think they interfere, more than their needed as it is. It is half of what is wrong with the generations of today and coming up.

what you are suggesting here, sounds a little hitler-fied to me.

Answer 7

well i dont think the corporation would do much better. your reasons may be true but the diffrence is that if you have a child you love it unconditionally u try the corporates would (in my opninon) would kill a baby if it was blind and or use them for army as in rase them just to fight in their army.

Answer 8

If you even think about trying to take away my children, I'll kill you instantly.

Is that clear enough for you with regard to this issue you disgusting communist worm.

Answer 9
