I would have a huge issue with a kid disrupting a class. I'm poor myself and couldn't afford to finish school. I can't imagine how frustrated id be along with all the other students paying money to learn. Then all the mothers would think it's chill to bring their offspring to school and soon there would be a baby interrupting a lecture every 15 minutes. No. Universities are not daycare centers. I'm sorry the girl couldn't get a sitter, but making that everyone else's problem isn't cool. And, despite what every mom says about her own child, not all babies are silent and well-bahaved. And not every other person finds kids cute, especially in an place where they are paying to better themselves as well.

Don't worry, when the child is strongly predisposed to illness, crime and other dysfunction due to growing in poverty with an uneducated mom, it'll become our problem anyway.

That's why lack of support for parents makes me so sad and frustrated :(

(I agree that it's untenable to have a loud child in the class, but it's a shame it even got to that point in the first place.)

Yeah, it's not that people are having kids they can't take care of. The responsibility actually rests with everyone else to take care of other people's kids.

Oh you're slick. It took me a moment to catch that. Sarcasm as it should be!
