[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have any association with MV.  My  completely unbiased opinion of this story is that these are the sort of parents that - 20 years from now - will have "Mommie Dearest" books written about them.

The desire to "make a point" at the expense of your child's privacy, self-respect, and general sense-of-self is terrifying.  Some people really shouldn't be parents.

+1. I admit it is difficult to judge without having all the facts (no MV parent here), but it is hard to imagine a situation where I would put a sign around my 7 year old child and "encourage" her to stand outside of her school. If I thought the school did something outrageous to my  child, I would take action against the school, maybe even put the sign around my neck and stand there alone, but I would never ever put my daughter through that.

teaching a child to stand her ground and putting her through a public humiliation are two different things, especially when the child is only 6 or 7 (maybe at 16 or 17 it would be different).[/quote]
