Fining parents for late day care pickup backfired





Private day care centers in Israel got tired of parents arriving late, so they decided to fine tardy parents a small fee for every late pickup. Turns out a fine is just a price and late arrivals more than doubled. The penalty allowed parents to ease their conscience from a shameful apology to a cash transaction. #history #historyfacts #historytime #parenting #parenthood #childcare

  1. The problem? People not going to therapy and cancelling same day! The solution? Charge over $100 and they arent allowed to set a new appointment until the fee is paid!

    What happened? Now they just don't go to therapy or pay the fee! Because no one wants to pay $100 for waking up sick and not being able to make it to an appointment!

  2. I learned about this in my psychology class this year and my teacher told us to get into groups of two with the people next to us and discuss about what could be a better solution.

    I sat next to my friend and turned to him expecting this to be one of the few times we're serious in class and actually discuss properly, and when I make eye contact with this donkey of a man the first words I hear are
    "Hear me out… Human trafficking"
    Fucking HUMAN TRAFFICKING this bastard looked me in my eyes and said that to my face!

  3. So make it a potential fee first time 1$, second time 2$, third time 4$, lets see how many parents are late after the 5th fee (obviously it is to pay immediatly when you pick up your child)

  4. Reminds me of how a man who owned a hiking trail started charging extra for people who parked their cars in bad ways (aka took up 2 or more parking spaces). And people had Zero problem with this change: they just paid more to park sloppily.

    Convience really is a commodity

  5. They just chose the price wrong. It has to be over the overtime fees and it's a solid way to increase daycare salary without people getting upset about price rise.

  6. נולדתי וגדלתי בישראל ואני יכול לומר שזה כל כך נכון. תמיד איחרנו, זה נחשב נדיר ביותר שהגענו מוקדם שלא לדבר על פעם אחת😂🤣😭
