*screams at the stupidity*

[conuly]

Go read the post, the article, and the responses


1. Moggy doesn't hide her name. I know I've seen it on her blog, and I wasn't looking for it, so it is incorrect to say that it is hidden.
2. There is no need for her to go by her given name, most people online do not, in fact, do that. So long as you can reply, you have no cause to say she is hiding at all.
3. Most people would say that typing a book *is* writing a book. The term "to write" means "to compose" as well as "to hold a pen correctly". Mentioning that is petty, at best.
4. Picking on Moggy instead of Amanda is, well... stupid. Moggy didn't say anything other than "read this article". Amanda is the one this woman should be replying too!
5. How is saying "hitting your child and letting him go hungry is abuse" childish or emotional?

Somebody really needs a reality check... *rolls her eyes*

She walks to school with the lunch she packed
Nobody knows what she's holdin' back
Wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
She hides the bruises with linen and lace

The teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
It's hard to see the pain behind the mask
Bearing the burden of a secret storm
Sometimes she wishes she was never born

Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In a world that she can't rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where she's loved
Concrete angel

Somebody cries in the middle of the night
The neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
When morning comes it'll be too late

[Repeat Chorus]

A statue stands in a shaded place
An angel girl with an upturned face
A name is written on a polished rock
A broken heart that the world forgot

[Repeat Chorus]





*weeps for this kid*

If MY mother had done to me what this woman had done when I was in first grade and refused to read or write (I'm not autistic, mind you, just stubborn), she would have been clapped in prison. So you got the results you wanted. You also brainwashed your child and violated the parent child trust to do so. Do the ends really justify it? HELL NO. I'm with ya Cons, she needs a massive reality check.

And she gets a book deal out of it.

Mind you, I haven't actually *read* the book, so I don't even know the kid's perception of events. I still disagree with the concept.
