Teachers who work in child care settings in the U.S. earn $11.65/hour on averageโless than half of what teachers in K-12 schools earn and below a living wage in most U.S. counties, write @daphnabassok, @laurabellows, @ajmarkowitz, & Kate Miller-Bains.

๐งต:The months- and years-long wait to get into a child care center is one of the most infuriating symptoms of a child care industry in market failure.
Many lists are hundreds of kids long.
Parents are waiting years.
And the wait is only getting longer.

The market for childcare in the U.S. is a failure. This is a thread to give some context to that statement.
First, prices. The price of child care has risen faster than prices overall (even for things like housing) over the past twenty years. It's not close.

Let's talk literary devices. I love onomatopoeias and don't mind personification. I'm bad at hyperbole and I think good imagery can make good writing.
Nothing drives me crazy, though, like a bad metaphor.
