My only serious injury at work ever was when diving between two teenage girls who were seriously fighting with each other. One of the punches (intended for the other girl) landed on my jaw and dislocated it. Not fun!
I don't want to give the impression that I'm all for physical punishment or anything, because I'm not. But, it's definitely true that a child can't be kicked out of day care until after they've done some harm to someone or something! I suspect that the day care would be held liable if they didn't stop a kid's dangerous behavior also. They are in a Catch 22.
I also don't think it's very professional to put that statement at the bottom of a legal contract. But, many day care providers aren't rocket scientists either. I wouldn't blame a parent for refusing to sign that contract, but I think it's poor judgment, not necessarily a sign that a child would be unsafe there.
Not telling kids no? That's just raising a very scary generation! Life is full of 'no' and they better get used to it!
