[quote=Anonymous]This was a very disturbing incident. During a week when the some children were already dealing with the Newtown issues (which I believe the school dealt with perfectly, including having additional personnel and surveys taken of all parents on Monday morning so teachers would be aware of which children knew and which the parents's wanted to speak to the ever present school psychologist), they found themselves and the school that they are told to trust being picketed. This was very unstabling for the school and the children. Moreover, the parents' comparison of thier actions to Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks makes some families concerned about the mental stability of these parents, adults who come into the building with our children each day. I have no idea what actually occurred, although i've never known the administration to ignore problems, but this seems like a terribly destructive and counterproductive way to deal with the issue, especially as it seems they had already found a new school that they thought would be a better fit for their family. I was very supportive of the email they had sent to the community just the day before to bring the issue to people's view, but when they pointlessly exposed our children, they crossed a huge line in my opinion.
