I love this. I felt the same way about my audition--like whether I made it or not, just the experience was life changing and brave and powerful...
She looks absolutely ADORABLE! Have a safe trip!
I don't think people who are pausing to give this movement honest and thoughtful criticism are standing around "with their noses in the air bitching" or are "jackasses that just tweet and blog about how wrong everyone else is doing." Something is not always better than nothing, as someone said very eloquently above, and it is our right as human beings to use our own logic and reason in the face of people like you who scream that we're lazy jackasses for stopping to think.
Kate, I completely agree, and I wish more people would take that into consideration.
I was a teacher before I had a baby, and I can tell you from experience that the majority of my behavior issues came from kids who had parents at home that refused to back their child's teacher up. When you give a child a consequence in the classroom, inform their parents, and then their parents take that information and do nothing with it, it sends the message that, "See? The teacher said this was such a big deal and NOTHING happened. Guess I can get away with it." I think ignoring the teacher's issue undermines her authority to your child more than teaming up with her and enforcing good behavior together.
These are ADORABLE. Seriously. I wish I had a kid in school just so I could make these.
