[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

You are a neglectful parent.  And, you don't have kids in MCPS and are grown, why are you trolling this board and stirring up trouble?

You are lucky he is ok as it could have been far worse.  Lots of kids commit suicide over stuff like that.  [/quote]

DP.  More needs to be done to address bullying in schools.  I was bullied in MS and then a good friend of mine was in HS.  It sucked.  But I think this highlights that more needs to be done so that kids can feel safe attending school in person rather than feeling forced into virtual.  IMO, keeping virtual to serve bullied kids would mean giving schools a cop-out for something they should be addressing.[/quote]
