[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welp, looks like at least one student wants us to continue the MVA because they are "shy" and like it because they can learn in a "comfortable environment."

I don't think this will be a convincing argument to the BOE lol.

Testimony posted on boardocs:

Did you even read and actually listen to the testimony?  Kinda sad that is all you got out of it.[/quote]

Yes I did.  It is sad really that parents are enabling this. Kids need to learn to navigate the world regardless of being shy. I was shy too, but I am grateful I had exposure to normal social situations. My son was bullied in middle school. I am sure many parents are shielding their bullied kids with VA, which is so so wrong. It's a form of child abuse.[/quote]

[b]Wow, you think it's ok your child was bullied and would let him remain in a bad situation over finding an alternative. [/b] That speaks volumes of you as a parent.  As a parent, I'd do anything to get my child into a better school environment.

What you did was child abuse.  Well, actually neglect.  You knew your son was being bullied and you ignored it and now rationalize your behavior.

I feel so bad for your son to have to go through that without any support at home.[/quote]

Yes, I let him figure it all out on his own and he ended up with friends for life from middle school, high school, and college. He is now a recent college graduate with lots of friends and a great job making close to six figures. Had I imprisoned him in our home, I am sure the outcome would have been tragic.
