[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AND THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH PARENTS...do you think continually skipping activities and avoidance is going to help her get better?  You are a snowplow parent, trying to remove ANY discomfort for your child.  Your child is the one who will end up asking you to come with her on a job interview, and ask you to call her boss when things aren't going well. Good luck.

Nope, you're wrong.  I completely disagree.  My kids went to Outdoor Ed, and I am far from the type of parent who wants to avoid any discomfort for my kid.

However, MS is in no way like real life.  And, some kids can be just terrible.  If a parent wants to keep their kids from being stuck somewhere with people that are unpleasant, then he/she has every right to do that.  IME, you can't expect the administration to take care of every 'bullying' type situation, etc.

As an adult, you are able to choose not to do certain things that make you uncomfortable, right?  [/quote]

Well, you are welcome to your opinion.  Just trying to help the OP (and other parents).  You can take my advice, or leave it.  Good luck with your kids![/quote]
