i'm unclear - is this socialized babysitting, or is it an expansion of the school system?

i would strongly support expanding the school system, but i....why promote socialized babysitting when you can expand the school system?

i guess the difference is that i'd actively support expanding the school system, and be more or less indifferent to socialized babysitting.
