This reminds me of a long, long time ago when I worked at an early childhood
day care center. I was getting ready to leave to have Julian, and was helping
to hire my replacement. We got some awful applicants, but the one that stuck
in my mind was a woman who said that she'd never worked with young children
before, but she'd worked with adults with retardation, and it was more or
less the same thing.

Not only did we NOT want to hire her to be with the kids, but we also wanted
to make sure she was never hired to work with disabled adults.
