GM probably used the same reasoning above when they decided to 
dwaddle in getting into building small cars.  Maybe something like
"gee, what will large families do when they all want to go somewhere."
Daycare is profitable!!  Where there is money to be made, businesses 
will spring up to make the money.  Now, if you were to say, the 
current crop of daycare centers would have to change............that
I would agree with.  But so they have to change?  Big deal!

Huh?  I've never thought that female teachers time their pregnancies 
with summer vacations.

Actually this goes to point made by someone about how they lived
in the tail of the gaussian, four years of divorce court battles,
a long and arduous settlement, etc.  What we are talking about is
the public education system.  Can anyone honestly want to impede
ideas, projects or whatnot simply because people out past 2sigma
won't be fully accomodated?  IMO, make changes to the system that
will benefit the greatest number of people and THEN, and only then,
work out the knotty details of unusual situations.
