Early Childhood Educator Apprenticeship Program: A Pathway to Build Competencies and Pay
In North Carolina and across the country, the child care industry is struggling to recruit and retain workers. It’s a tight labor market and child care programs report difficulty in paying wages that are competitive with other community employers (such as Target or Walmart or McDonalds). Unlike other local employers, child care programs are looking for individuals who have a passion for working with children and also have early childhood competencies important for a business based on promoting the healthy development of children.

Housing and Children First Plan: A Much-Needed Two-Generation Strategy
As a life-long child advocate, I’ve come across great ideas that are difficult to pursue because of the siloed way that federal funding is too frequently made available – a specific purpose, specific targeting and eligibility rules and siloed administration. For me, who sees the connection between a family’s need for affordable housing and a parent’s need for child care to obtain and retain employment (which pays the rent), it’s a challenge to integrate the two concepts.

I have a tremendous love of children and I place a high standard on learning. I believe children are an inspiration; each one different in their own way with so much to teach us. Early childhood is when children are developing the most and when learning is the greatest. This is where the importance should be placed as these early experiences with learning can really influence how a child looks at schooling in the future.

REX Child Development Center | UNC REX Healthcare
At the REX Child Development Center, we believe every child is unique and special, and we design our programs according to the developmental needs of each child. Our programs focus on the physical, intellectual, emotional, and social development of the children in our care.
Our center, which is both an infant and toddler care center and a Preschool, is 13,600 sq. feet, including 13 classrooms, multi-purpose room, kitchen, playground, and covered play area. Our staff care for 156 children, aged six weeks to five years of age, with two instructors in every classroom. We are a Five Star Child Care Center licensed by the NC Department of Human Resources and the Division of Child Development.
The Importance of Play
While it may appear that children are simply playing, something more is going on- learning! Children develop valuable skills and gain knowledge through playing. Our center focuses on five specific areas that encourage learning through play. These areas include: Art, Block Building, Books and Language, Dramatic Play and Manipulatives.
Preschool
Because our center focuses on the “Learn Through Play” philosophy, throughout the day our Preschool children are being encouraged to develop fine motor, gross motor, social and emotional skills. The development of these skills teach the children how to problem solve, allowing them the opportunity to explore their environment with thoughtful curiosity and independence.
Furthermore, through our use of developmentally appropriate activities each child gains the knowledge needed for “kindergarten readiness.”
Classroom Ratios
We currently follow the North Carolina Division of Child Development’s Voluntary Enhanced Ratio Standards. They are as follows:
- 0- 12 months: ratio of staff/children is 1/4 (maximum group size permitted: 8)
- 12- 24 months: ratio of staff/children is 1/5 (maximum group size permitted: 10)
- 2- 3 years: ratio of staff/children is 1/9 (maximum group size permitted: 16)
- 3- 4 years: ratio of staff/children is 1/10 (maximum group size permitted: 20)
- 4-5 years: ratio of staff/children is 1/13 (maximum group size permitted: 25)
Frequently Asked Questions

All of our food is prepared by the UNC REX Food and Nutrition Department and delivered to our center. We serve a morning snack, lunch and an afternoon snack. All of our meals and snacks meet the nutrition requirements required by the Division of Child Development.
What if my child has food allergies and/or special food requirements?
Our menu is completely nut free. We can work with families on an individual basis to provide alternate meals for other allergies and special requirements. In extreme cases the parents can provide alternate meals/snacks that meet the Division of Child Development’s nutrition requirements.

Our teachers currently follow the Creative Curriculum. Each classroom has a daily lesson plan which is created by the teacher. The preschool classrooms have a weekly theme that all their classroom activities are planned around for the week.

Women leave jobs due to lack of child care, changed labor force
During the pandemic, hundreds of thousands of women dropped out of the paid labor force to care for their children. With vaccines now widely available for children, many hoped things would go back to normal. But for many families, normal isn’t here yet — and the pandemic only exacerbated problems with the child care industry that were present long before the pandemic, and will be there long after.

Cheyenne Stanley is used to multitasking. Until February, she was a manager at a 24-hour convenience store in Raleigh, where she ran the register, organized schedules, stocked the floor, cleaned bathrooms and dealt with customer complaints.
She worked while juggling child care for her newborn, Serenity Bragg, who was born in December, and her 10-year-old, Rachel Goodwin. She’d wake up at 3 in the morning to go to work, where she filled out paperwork under the fluorescent lights of the convenience store while it was still dark out. At six, she’d come home to Knightdale to bring Rachel to school and Serenity to day care. Then she’d drive back to work as the sun rose over the highway.
Stanley’s multitasking has looked a bit different during the pandemic. In February, she left her job of five years at the convenience store to stay home with her children. Stanley wasn’t the only one. Hundreds of thousands of women also left the labor force, according to figures cited by Politico. A MetLife survey of 2,000 working adults conducted in September found that 20% of women say they’ve had to leave the paid labor force during the pandemic.
Many women, like Stanley, stopped working because of child care. As schools shifted to remote learning, families needed a parent to stay home to care for the children. More often than not, that parent was the mother. Functioning day cares had become scarce, and, without a vaccine for months, there was the added worry of children and staff getting sick.
“I made really good money as a manager, but by the time I got done paying for child care, I was making less than I’ve ever made,” Stanley told The News & Observer earlier this year. “And it’s always been that way. If you work a full-time job and you don’t make at least $20 to $30 an hour, it’s pointless to have a daycare.”
With COVID-19 vaccines now available for adults and children aged 5 and older, many hoped life would return to normal — and that included women going back to work.
But as the pandemic continues and new variants emerge, including the most recent omicron variant, “normal” isn’t quite here yet. Parents face new challenges before they can return to work, with child care continuing to be prohibitively unaffordable for many families.
In a survey conducted by the North Carolina Justice Center and released in February, 30% of women who weren’t working because of the pandemic reported child care as the main factor for their unemployment, compared to 4% of men.
“You’re working your butt off to bring home very little,” Stanley said. “You’re pretty much working for child care.”
Part of President Joe Biden’s Build Back Better Act, which passed the House but is stalled, perhaps permanently, in the Senate, would include federal funding to address some of those child care concerns. That includes early childhood education for children under 6; providing child care expenses at licensed providers to families who meet income eligibility requirements; and raising wages for child care workers.
On Dec. 20, N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper said if the Build Back Better Act isn’t passed, the lack of access to affordable, quality child care will hurt families and employers. The act, which includes a provision capping child care costs at 7% of income for low- and middle-class families, has faced opposition from Republicans, including Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina.
“It’s one of the issues now affecting people in the workforce,” Cooper said at a news conference. “And when you have working parents who are paying 25, 30 percent of their income on child care, that makes it hard for them. They need to get back to the table in Washington and negotiate something to try to help people with health care, prescription drug prices and particularly the child care.”
A November report from Ready Nation, a bipartisan arm of the Council for a Strong America, supports Cooper’s statement, saying North Carolina’s economic recovery from the pandemic will be “hindered” because of a lack of child care options for families.
The inability for some women to both work and make sure their children are cared for is a symptom of problems that have existed long before the pandemic — and, unless something changes, will continue to exist long after it.
“Child care hasn’t been working for a long time in the U.S.,” said Logan Harris, a policy analyst at the North Carolina Justice Center. “As with so many things, COVID just revealed how fundamentally disinvested the system was, and how much it needs investment in order to be able to function for families.”

A toll on working-class families
Earlier this year, Vice President Kamala Harris called the exodus of women from the workforce a “national emergency,” and experts warn that women remaining out of the workforce could have long-term effects on the economy.
The longer a person is out of the workforce, the harder it becomes to rejoin. And every year that a woman doesn’t work, she not only loses that year’s wages, but also incurs losses in wage growth, benefits and retirement savings.
While nearly all families with children had to make difficult decisions during the pandemic about child care, for working-class families, the choice between traditional child care options and working was particularly stark. Remote work usually wasn’t an option, and the price of child care often rivaled a parent’s salary.
Sara Fearrington, a single mother and Waffle House server who lives in Durham, has three school-aged children. Early on in the pandemic, her adult daughter, who has her own children, also lived with them. Fearrington worked mornings and her daughter worked evenings so that they could take turns watching the kids, then 10, 12, and 14, during remote schooling.
When Fearrington’s older daughter moved out, she had to teach her children to care for themselves while she was away at work. She made a routine for them and called them during her work breaks.
“They’re never alone,” Fearrington said. “I have a great village, I have a lot of neighbors, my older children would check in. But I shouldn’t have to sit here and teach my daughter how to cook eggs at 10 years old because I have to go to work. But there were no options. What could I do?”
Stephanie Meyers Spalin, a mother of four who lives in Apex, quit her job at the beginning of the pandemic to stay home with her children while they did remote schooling. She couldn’t afford to arrange for someone else to watch the kids — then aged 8, 11, 13 and 15. As an employee at a car dealership, she didn’t have the option to work from home.
“I quit because I’m more of the primary caregiver than my husband,” Spalin said. “And I am more of the primary caregiver because — because he makes more money.”
Still, her family relied on both of their incomes, and living on only one income was difficult.
“We’ve struggled for years, and we’d finally gotten to a comfortable financial place when I was working, so leaving that was really hard,” she said. “We had to move apartments, and we had to go on food stamps because I wasn’t making money.”
After her kids returned to school in-person this fall, Spalin was able to start working again, but re-entering the workforce was harder than she expected. She couldn’t find a job for months. She re-applied for her old job, but didn’t hear back. She’s heard of other mothers who also struggled to get their old jobs back once they could start working again.
Despite many industries experiencing staffing shortages, the competition was fierce.
“Right now everyone is applying for jobs,” she said. “I’ve been a manager before, I know what to look for in applicants. I was turned down by multiple places before I got a job at Starbucks.
“They don’t tell you this, of course, but I know a lot of it was because of, ‘What if schools shut down again, does she have to leave her job?’” she said. “I’m sure they look at that. I know I would.”
Although she was eventually able to find a job, her family is still struggling to make ends meet because of the time she took off.
“There are still so many families, including my own, where we’re struggling,” she said. “People want to say we’re going back to normal. No. It’s not normal yet.”

School is a lifeline
For many families, public schools, and the free child care it can provide, is a lifeline. With the loss of that lifeline, many mothers stayed home to fill the gap. One of the most dramatic cuts to the labor force happened in September 2020. Following schools’ announcements that they would continue with remote schooling for the foreseeable future, more than 865,000 women stopped working, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that this September, at the start of another school year, more than 300,000 women dropped out of the labor force — the largest decline since last September.
Those women who did work created their own support systems to care for their children, relying on friends and family, organizing babysitting rotations, or finding other makeshift solutions, including creating “pods” with other families who followed COVID-19 protocols.
For Stanley, arranging child care was always hard financially. But the pandemic — and especially the inconsistency of in-person school — made it nearly impossible.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Stanley’s partner was away for weeks at a time for work. Stanley couldn’t keep up as Rachel’s school switched between remote and in-person instruction, and it was hard to find an affordable day care for her newborn. Stanley ended up setting up cameras in her house to watch Rachel when she was alone during remote school. Sometimes, Serenity would spend the night in her mother’s office at the convenience store.
“When I came back from my maternity leave in January, the pandemic had reached a whole new level,” Stanley said. “Employees were dropping like flies. I was working 18 to 20 hours a day with an infant and a 10-year-old.”
There were days when she was so tired while working that she would think to herself: “Am I going to ever go home? Am I going to survive this?”
Something had to change, so in February, she left her job.
She decided she would make a go at running her own business out of her home. She started a business called Chey by Design, which sells products like candles, soaps and T-shirts, and organizes arts and crafts events. The business allowed her to try to keep working while having the flexibility to stay home with her children.
Working and watching both her kids at the same time ended up being harder than she expected. She often stayed up until 2 a.m., completing orders after everyone else had gone to bed. With Rachel back at school, she was hoping to have more time during the day to focus on filling out orders and scheduling events.
But within the first week of the 2021 school year, someone in Rachel’s class got sick with COVID-19, and she had to stay home for two weeks. After that, Rachel got seasonal allergies, and she couldn’t go to school because of her symptoms.
It felt like a repeat of last year. Rachel was in for two weeks, out for two weeks. Some of the assignments Rachel was getting weren’t working on her internet at home. Stanley didn’t know what the following week would look like.
But this time, Stanley was home instead of working, so it was easier to keep up.
“I think the best thing for us was me being at home with the kids, especially during the pandemic. I was fortunate enough to have a [partner] who was able to help, you know, pay the bills while I was at home,” she said.
“There’s a lot of people out there that didn’t get that option.”

Day care isn’t a benefit
If school is a lifeline for those with school-aged children, for those with children younger than 5, lifelines are harder to come by.
The vast majority of jobs don’t provide child care assistance as a benefit. At the end of October, the waiting list for child care subsidies in North Carolina was over 18,000 people long, according to Elizabeth Everette, an assistant director of the North Carolina Division of Child Development and Early Education.
Alexandra Maria Landeros, who has a preschool-aged daughter, received child care assistance through the University of North Carolina, where her husband is a graduate student. Because of that assistance, she was able to keep working while her husband was in school. Landeros works as an operations director for Poder NC, a 501(c)(3) Latinx organization.
Without the assistance from UNC, she said, she likely wouldn’t have been able to afford care for her daughter.
“I would hear stories about people who made pods with the grandparents, and I would also hear of these families, like, putting together their own schools and hiring a nanny,” Landeros said. “People of higher socioeconomic backgrounds had the privilege to pursue that option. Life was very different for people who couldn’t.”
Mary Beck, who lives in Clayton, quit her job in 2011, when she and her husband decided that she would stay home with their two sons until their youngest entered kindergarten. They couldn’t afford child care, and she wasn’t able to work from home.
Because Beck made less than her husband, she was the one to stay home.
After their younger son entered kindergarten in 2019, Beck began looking for jobs, finding one at a Scholastic Book Fair warehouse in March 2020.
Three weeks later, her new employer had to make cuts because of the pandemic, and she was laid off.
If she wasn’t laid off, Beck said she would have quit her job anyway, to watch her children, now 7 and 12, during remote schooling. Just as she stayed home when her children were younger, she knew she would be the one to stay home when they were home for virtual instruction.
“Ultimately, I am the primary caregiver, because I’m the mama and that’s what moms do,” Beck said. “And I think that’s something that’s just sort of expected in our society. At least for all my friends, everyone that I know, all the women are the primary parent. It’s just sort of an automatic thing for us.”

Shortage of child care workers
The report from Ready Nation says a shortage of workers, largely due to low wages, leads to fewer children served and reduced hours at child care facilities.
The average hourly rate of a day care worker is $10 to $12 an hour, less than that of an average retail worker, according to a U.S. Treasury Department report from September. Child care workers are 95% women, and disproportionately women of color.
“Investing in these policies may have a significant price tag now, but that’s because we’ve failed to invest for so long,” said Rasheed Malik, an associate director of research at the Center for American Progress. “Right now, we’re making parents and child care workers pay the price for that. But by investing in this problem collectively, we would see gains for everyone.”
Nina Jacobs, who runs a day care in Clayton called Academy of Angels, is one of them. Before the pandemic, Academy of Angels offered 24-hour care, catering to parents who worked jobs with irregular hours.
After the pandemic started, she cut back those hours, though she tried to accommodate the day care’s parents, many of whom were essential workers. She opened earlier or stayed open later for parents who needed it, and she offered pay-what-you-can services to parents who couldn’t afford tuition.
She’s had trouble hiring and retaining enough staff, and being flexible with parents meant that she worked late nights and early mornings for little pay. But she’s determined to keep her center open.
“Everything I do is for my students and my parents,” Jacobs said.

It takes a village
As the school year continues, public officials continue to work to keep children safe. Though the COVID-19 vaccine is available for children 5 and older, vaccination rates among children in North Carolina remain relatively low compared to the rest of the population.
As of Dec. 20, 18% of North Carolina children aged 5 to 11, or 161,410 children, had received at least one dose of the vaccine since it became available in early November, according to the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. Forty-six percent of children ages 12 to 17 have had one shot, or over 366,000 people.
That means many school districts have implemented mask mandates, despite pushback from some parents.
Until more children are vaccinated, the possibility of people getting COVID-19 and prompting a class or school quarantine lingers.
For Stanley and Beck, they’ve been forced to be nimble, cobbling together child care solutions for the range of school options they might face.
Once Beck got a new job, she coordinated with other working parents to arrange child care.
“Luckily I have a village of friends who help out, and friends who have teenagers who drive and they help out,” Beck said.
But these networks of child care can often feel flimsy, and they also depend on a certain level of security — having extended family nearby, for example, or trusted friends and neighbors.
“I know that it’s been such a struggle for so many other families that don’t have family in the area,” Beck said.
This month, Stanley returned to work full-time. She returned to work not because child care options have improved, but because she has to — her family is saving to buy a house, she said, and they need two incomes again.
Stanley is back to working nearly 14-hour days while trying to piece together child care for her children. When she is at work, Rachel stays with her godmother. Serenity is attending a drop-in day care until an opening at a full-time day care opens for her in January.
While almost everything about the world from two years ago may seem different now, Stanley’s child care situation — apart from the added uncertainty from the pandemic — is largely the same.
But before she decided to return to the workforce, Stanley and her friends relied on each another to care for their kids. On a fall afternoon, she kept an eye on her two children as well as her friend’s two kids. She hoped to tackle er list of tasks for the day: a meeting with Amazon, where she planned to start selling her products, and filling custom T-shirt and candle orders.
Serenity, her youngest, was exploring the living room floor, gravitating toward the couch to try to stand herself up against it. The older kids were watching a movie, sharing Capri-Suns and Cheez-Its.
By early evening, Stanley’s friend came to pick up her two children. While collecting the diapers, toys, and extra clothes she packed for her kids, she talked about her upcoming schedule, wondering when she’d need to go to work, when day care would be open, who would watch her kids.
“Any day that you need something like today, that’s fine,” Stanley said. “I completely get it. I did it for years, trust me. Working till one, two o’clock in the morning was no fun with kids.”
“They just expect us to drop everything,” her friend replied.
“Oh yeah, they do,” Stanley said. “You know I’m here for you if you need me.”

According to the World Health Organization, tobacco causes almost 7 million deaths annually, of which more than 6 million deaths occur among users and former tobacco users, and more than 890,000 among non-smokers exposed to second-hand tobacco smoke. If urgent action is not taken, the number of annual deaths by 2030 could exceed 8 million.
About the effects of smoking on the body
Tobacco smoking is addictive.
Smokers quickly become addicted to nicotine contained in tobacco leaves, which causes a strong desire to smoke again and again.
When a person tries to quit smoking, he or she may experience withdrawal symptoms, including:
- irritability
- decreased concentration
- sleep problems
- increased appetite
- strong craving for tobacco.
In addition to nicotine, a number of other hazardous chemicals are found in tobacco smoke, such as tar, radioactive polonium, arsenic, lead, bismuth, ammonia, and organic acids. Cases of acute poisoning with these substances are practically not observed due to the fact that they enter the body slowly, in doses, however, these substances lead to a gradual deterioration in health.
Burning 20 g of tobacco yields on average:
- 0.0012 g of hydrocyanic acid;
- About 0.0012 g of hydrogen sulfide;
- 0.22 g pyridine bases;
- 0. 18 g nicotine;
- 0.64 g ammonia;
- 0.92 g carbon monoxide;
- Not less than 1 g of concentrate from liquid and solid products of combustion and dry distillation of tobacco
Many smokers think that smoking filter cigarettes is safe, but this is not the case. If absorbers and filters provided complete protection against harmful substances, then they would also absorb nicotine itself, in which case the effect of smoking would not be felt. Smokers light cigarettes also believe that smoking light cigarettes has a minimal effect on the body.
The harm caused by smoking any cigarette is the same for all smokers.
In addition to the smoker himself, those around him also suffer – the so-called passive smokers.
Long-term smoking leads to diseases of various organs and systems.
What harm does tobacco use cause in general?
Smoking increases the risk of dying from cancer and other diseases in cancer patients and healthy people.
Smoking can cause cancer in any organ:
- bladder
- blood (acute myeloid leukemia)
- cervix
- intestines
- esophagus
- kidneys and ureters
- larynx
- liver
- oral cavity (throat, tongue, soft palate and tonsils)
- pancreas
- stomach
- trachea, bronchus and lungs
Smoking damages the heart and circulation, increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease (damaged blood vessels) and cerebrovascular disease (damaged arteries that supply blood to the brain).
Carbon monoxide from smoke and nicotine increase the workload on the heart, making it work faster. They also increase the risk of blood clots.
In fact, smoking doubles the risk of heart attack, angina pectoris. Smokers have twice the risk of dying from coronary heart disease than non-smokers.
Smokers who smoke 5 cigarettes or less per day may have early signs of cardiovascular disease.
If you stop smoking
A year after quitting smoking, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases decreases by half, after 15 years the risk is similar to the risk of someone who has never smoked.
People who smoke have an increased risk of developing ulcers as well as stomach cancer.
Smoking can cause reflux – the reflux of stomach contents, in which case the acid from the stomach can move in the opposite direction – into the esophagus.
Smoking is an important risk factor for kidney cancer , and the longer you smoke, the higher the risk.
Studies have shown that if you regularly smoke 10 cigarettes a day, then one and a half times more likely to develop kidney cancer than non-smokers. If a person smokes 20 or more cigarettes a day, the risk doubles.
Smoking causes premature aging of the skin by 10-20 years.
Stopping smoking prevents further deterioration of the skin condition caused by smoking.
Smoking can reduce bone mass and increase bone fragility. Women should be especially careful as they are more likely to develop osteoporosis than non-smokers.
Smoking increases the risk of stroke by 50%, which can lead to brain damage and death.
Smoking increases the risk of cerebral aneurysms. This is a bulging of a blood vessel caused by weakness in its wall. This condition can lead to subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is a type of stroke, and can cause extensive brain damage and death.
Within two years of quitting smoking, the risk of stroke will be halved, and within five years it will be the same as that of non-smokers.
Coughs, colds, wheezing and asthma are just the beginning. Smoking can lead to fatal diseases such as pneumonia, emphysema and lung cancer. Smoking causes 84% of lung cancer deaths and 83% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) deaths.
COPD, a progressive and debilitating disease, is the general name for lung diseases including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. People with COPD have difficulty breathing, primarily due to narrowing of the airways and destruction of lung tissue. Typical symptoms of COPD include: shortness of breath when active, persistent cough with phlegm, and frequent chest infections.
The early signs of COPD are often referred to as “smoker’s cough”, but if people continue to smoke, the condition worsens, which can greatly affect their quality of life.
The most effective way to slow the progression of the disease is to stop smoking.
The most serious effect of smoking on the oral cavity is the risk of developing cancer of the lips, tongue, throat, larynx and esophagus. More than 93% of oropharyngeal cancers (cancer in the throat) are caused by smoking.
Smoking can also cause bad breath, discoloration of tooth enamel, inflammatory gum disease and taste disturbance.
Smoking can cause impotence in men because it damages the blood vessels that supply blood to the genitals. It can also affect the quality of the seminal fluid, reduce the number of spermatozoa, which will lead to infertility.
Smoking in women increases the risk of infertility and cervical cancer .
Smoking during pregnancy has a number of risks:
- premature birth
- miscarriage
- stillbirth
- low birth weight
- sudden infant death syndrome
- childhood diseases.
Prevention of the consequences caused by smoking
Tobacco prevention among the population is as follows:
- in cigarette price increase
- in compliance with age restrictions for the sale of cigarettes
- in promoting information about the dangers of smoking among adolescents, which they receive mainly on television, from billboards, during public events, from messages in newspapers, magazines, on the Internet, on radio, in cinemas.
The tasks of school staff in the prevention of smoking.
Teachers, medical workers, school psychologists should instill in children and adolescents an understanding of the value of health and a healthy lifestyle. Smoking initiation should be prevented and smoking cessation promoted among those who already smoke. Early prevention is quite effective, because. tobacco addiction is not yet formed and there are no stereotypes of behavior.
Attention should be paid to the motivation for smoking in adolescents:
- curiosity
- example of adults and friends
- enjoyment
- fear of being out of date, out of fashion
- fear of falling behind peers
- self-affirmation
- “support the company”
- “nothing to do”.
Social factors affecting the prevalence of nicotine addiction among schoolchildren should be noted:
- ignoring sports
- Positive or indifferent attitude towards smoking in the family
- family conflicts
- conflicts at the place of study
- adaptation difficulties in high school
and biological factors:
- passive smoking
- drinking alcohol.
Physicians of all specialties should educate patients about the dangers of smoking and how to quit smoking.
In antenatal clinics, it is necessary to explain the dangers of smoking to pregnant and lactating mothers. Information can be presented orally, as well as in the form of posters.
Once you stop smoking, your health will improve and your body will begin to recover.
Know! Smoking shortens a man’s life by about 12 years and a woman’s life by about 11 years.
Protecting the rights of the child at school – Blog of the inspector of public education
As a rule, on the one hand, ignorance, and, on the other hand, violation of the rights of schoolchildren leads to conflict situations “school – student – parent”.
How can parents protect their child’s rights at school? Let’s look at a few examples.
Gender equality
Gender equality is when everyone has the same rights, whether they are male or female.
Possible variant of violation – gender discrimination: the girls were ordered to clean the floors, and the boys were allowed to go home.
Help. If a person is limited in rights and opportunities on the basis of gender, then this is nothing but discrimination. Discrimination is categorically prohibited by international law and Russian legislation.
What to do?
Try to solve the problem in a peaceful way: draw the attention of the class teacher that it is impossible to impose more duties on girls than on boys, offer not to divide students into boys and girls, but ask all the guys for help.
If this does not help, then proceed according to the scheme: administration – education department – court.
School and religion
The school does not have the right to force students to declare their belonging to a particular religion – this is a personal matter for everyone.
Possible variant of violation – imagine that the Plan of school-wide or class activities provides for a visit to an Orthodox monastery. Among the students there are not only Orthodox, but also Muslims, Buddhists or followers of other religions, and this event may be contrary to their religious beliefs.
Help. Everyone has the right to freedom of conscience and religion, i.e. everyone has the right to decide for himself whether to believe in God or not, and which religion to choose. Everyone has the right not only to believe or not to believe, but also to act as his faith or convictions dictate. Also, for various reasons, not everyone can openly talk about their religious beliefs and feelings.
The Law on Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations states: “It is prohibited to involve minors in religious associations, as well as to teach religion to minors against their will and without the consent of their parents or persons replacing them. ”
What to do?
The school must refuse to hold events that have a religious connotation, because the school cannot hold any events related to religion, for example, collect donations for the needs of religious communities, involve students in religious rites, because. in this case, the norm of the Law on the secular nature of education is violated.
Students have every right to refuse to participate in activities related to religion.
If they try to involve students in these events forcibly, then you should file a written complaint with the school principal, contact the education department, the Commissioner for Children’s Rights.
Respect for the honor and dignity of the student
Students have the right to respect for their honor and dignity.
Possible Violation – arguing between a teacher and a student in the presence of the whole class or bringing a discussion of the student’s opinions and beliefs to the class without his consent.
Help. Public proceedings are in conflict with the right of students to respect for their human dignity, which is enshrined in the Law “On Education” (Article 50, paragraph 4), are offensive and inadmissible. The Russian Constitution establishes the right to freedom of opinion and belief: “No one can be forced to express his opinions and beliefs or to renounce them” (Article 29, point 3). In addition, such “court trials” cause enormous moral damage to children. The use of such methods of education by a teacher is not permissible.
What to do?
Find out from the teacher the essence of the conflict. Did the teacher talk with the student in advance and did he get his consent to a public discussion of his actions.
In case of violation of the law, file a complaint with the principal of the school.
You also have the right to apply to the court for the protection of the honor and dignity of the child.
The right to health care
The school is responsible for the life and health of children during the educational process.
Possible variant of violation – the student is released from physical activity and there is a certificate about this. However, the physical education teacher did not take this into account and gave the student a deuce.
What to do?
A physical education teacher can be explained that running and jumping after surgery is dangerous for a student.
Ask for help from the class teacher and head teacher. “Deuce” should be canceled, and in the future such cases should not be repeated.
If verbal appeals do not help, then write a statement to the principal of the school demanding a disciplinary investigation into this fact.
If, nevertheless, the teacher forced the child to study and such “physical education” harmed his health, stock up on the necessary documents and boldly go to court.
Mandatory additional classes, electives
All additional classes, such as circles, electives, sections, etc. can only be voluntary.
Possible variant of violation – sometimes the school forces children to attend extra classes.
Help. Every school has a curriculum. It records what subjects are studied in a given class and how much time is devoted to these subjects. Therefore, no one can force a student to attend additional classes. For example, if there is no “solid state physics” as a compulsory subject in the curriculum, then this special course can not be attended.
What to do?
We proceed from the fact that any teacher will highly appreciate a student who has additional knowledge gained in a special course. When passing the exam in the main subject, this will only benefit the student.
If you are afraid that the teacher will nevertheless treat the child with prejudice, discuss the situation with the teacher, head teacher of the school, write a statement to the principal.
Socially useful work
“Engagement of students, pupils of civil educational institutions without the consent of students, pupils and their parents (legal representatives) to work not provided for by the educational program is prohibited” – is also written in Article 50 of the Law “On education. ”
Possible violation – children are forced to be on duty in the classroom, around the school, clean up the territory, etc.
Help . Article 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation states: “Forced labor is prohibited.”
Also pay attention to the wording of Article 50 of the Law “On Education”: the school must obtain not only the consent of the students themselves to help the school with their work, but also the consent of their parents. This means that the school does not have the right to order schoolchildren to take rags in their hands and go to wipe puddles in school corridors, participate in duty, sweep streets, clean bus stops and forest parks.
If we follow the letter of the law, then even if the students themselves stood with rags and brooms in their hands and begged to be allowed to participate in the labor landing, the director would not be able to allow them to do this until they bring written consent from their parents.
What to do?
If the school still forces the student to be on duty, clean the school grounds or public areas, then the parents can appeal against the actions of the school.
You can apply to the director with a written complaint about the actions of the class teacher, who forces the children to do work, be on duty in the classroom, wash the floors, take up “post number one”. If the director refuses to release the child from duty, work, write a complaint to the department of education and the authorities for the protection of the rights of the child.
If that doesn’t help, parents can sue the school.
Sometimes they refer to the Charter of the school. Read it and make sure that such a rule really exists. It is very likely that it will not be there. But in any case, the Charter of the school cannot contradict the Law and the Constitution. If there is a contradiction, then it is necessary to be guided not by the Charter (or the order of the director, or some provision), but by the Constitution and the Law. In this case, parents can apply to the founder, as well as to the prosecutor’s office.
If a school really needs help, it can ask students instead of giving orders. Pupils have the right to decide for themselves whether to respond to the request of the school or not. It is also necessary to find out in advance the position of parents on the issue of involving their children in work. This applies not only to emergency cases, but also to ordinary duties, general cleaning and other “labor landings”. Please note that even if the child works for the benefit of the school of their own free will, parental consent is required.
If parents do not agree with the involvement of children in socially useful work, then they have every reason to complain about the school not only to the educational authorities, but also to sue.
Self-service at school, of course, should be, but it is necessary to look for a solution to this problem together with students, human rights activists and parents of students, guided by the current legislation.
The right to education
All Russian citizens have the constitutional right to education.
Possible variant of violation – removal of the student from the lesson or not admitting to classes.
Help. The teacher does not have the right not to let the student go to the lesson or kick him out of the class. The teacher does not have the right to decide this arbitrarily. If a student came in a state of intoxication or began to smash school furniture, then the teacher must respond: call the school administration, the police and other specialists who will take the student from the teacher from hand to hand and continue to work with him. But when the student’s behavior does not pose any danger, the teacher is obliged to let him into the classroom. Teaching a student is his duty, a job for which the state pays him money.
What to do?
If this happened, try to find out all the circumstances of the conflict.
If you determine that your student has violated the Student Rules, read your school’s Bylaws to find out what penalties apply. Such punishment as removal from the lesson should not be in them.
Write a complaint to the principal. If the situation still does not change after this, file a complaint with the Department of Education with a request for a disciplinary investigation. The Law “On Basic Guarantees of the Rights of the Child in the Russian Federation” gives this right.
Dear parents! Do not let yourself and your children be humiliated! Teach your kids to stand up for themselves.

A law has come into force in Russia, which introduces a ban on disembarking children from public transport for traveling without a ticket. This was reported on the website of the State Duma.
“On March 7, a law comes into force that prohibits forcibly disembarking children under 16 years of age from public transport for unpaid travel if they are traveling unaccompanied by adults,” said Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the lower house of parliament.
According to him, now conductors and drivers should understand that by dropping off a child who has not paid the fare, they are violating federal law and will be held accountable for this. “Leaving children alone on the road is dangerous for their life and health,” he said.

The corresponding bill was developed by the Ministry of Transport. A year ago, the then head of the department, Yevgeny Dietrich, said that there were examples in the country when children without a ticket were dropped off in the middle of the night “somewhere outside the city, in the dark, in the mud. ” He pointed out that the bill directly prohibits such actions.
In the final, third, reading, the law was adopted by the State Duma in mid-February. The lower house of parliament noted that the new rules will not apply to cases where a child travels without a ticket accompanied by adults – if they refuse to pay for the fare, they must get off together at the nearest stop. Later, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed this law.
