Explanation:
The fascination with Sarah Palin comes not only from her unexpected rise, but also from the fact that she is a mother of five, with one child under a year old. While Palin seeks the vice presidency, one of the most demanding jobs on Earth, more than 40 million American moms also balance jobs with motherhood. Do working moms have the best of both worlds, or are they potentially neglecting their children's best interests?

Daycare Benefits Children
Benefits to Staying at Home Instead of Daycare
While studies may show that children who go to daycare have an increased vocabulary and more advanced social skills than children who are not in daycare, it can not be assumed that a child taught at home could not enter preschool ahead of other children. I was read to at every meal before I attended preschool, and thus, I had an advanced vocabulary when entering preschool. This time also allowed me to bond with my mother and she also took me to see other children my age. So really,it would seem as though children at home with their mothers and chidren at daycare could easily enter preschool at the same intellectual and social level.
Additionally, not all daycares have a set curriculum. Some daycares provide simply an opportunity for children to socialize with other kids their age, while neglecting the opportunity to educate.
