Very well written..

I have had my own experiences with Licensing, and must agree with all you said.
I started my home child care 17 years ago..as a Registered Home in Texas. I sent in my application...was inspected...and my REGISTRATION was issued.
August 1992. The standard for Registered Homes at that time was inspection every 2-3 years.
Apparently there were some changes in Licensing Reps during that time...and I 'fell through the cracks' so to speak.
I didn't see a Licensing rep for a routine inspection until July 1997.
5 years.
And...when I was inspected...it was the same person that had inspected me the first time....they had switched reps AGAIN.
Oh...funny thing...a year after my REGISTRATION was issued...I moved to a new home. I called...notified Licensing of my new address...and they mailed out a new certificate...
never inspected me.....
Its to bad the general public doesn't know how ineffective licensing really is. Blind faith in a system that doesn't work is just sad.
