This is the same thing program parents think about programs, it really shows their naivety and lack of responsibility.
The parents I have spoken to are well aware that there are no outside advocacy groups directly associated with the schools (above and beyond what is available in the public sector, should there be? Well, that may be a good discussion……………….
Those are simply called parents (unknown to many program parents the state does NOT provide every child with a round-the-clock child advocate).
Shows the distance you have from parents. When and if you have children some day you will become familiar with the fact that the state
does not provide any parents with round-the-clock advocacy, let alone
all kids. About 30 years ago we developed a system called
CASA who advocate for abused and neglected children. This is in place as a safety net for the kids who’s parent wont or cant step up to protect them. These advocates represent the kids mainly in court.
TheWho is not the first program parent to compare children to the family pet on fornits, he won't be the last.
As you read a little more here you will see that it is the kids that compare conditions to that of animals, not parents. You have it backwards.
To put into perspective my original comment…. When children are used for entertainment like Brat Camp or Kidnation the parents may not be on site to advocate for their child during the entire time (maybe they are required to, I dont know!). But if they are not is there an agency which does this? Similar to animal advocacy groups which oversee the handling of animals for the entertainment business. I was a little curious if anyone knew.
