I'm guessing some parents know about it, but they won't get their tax money back if the go to a different provider. So they'll holder their nose, put up with it, and try to have a positive influence at home.

Their other option is to protest through a political process. They may not have the initiative or they make not think they would get results before their kid finishes the school.

The worst case is parents who say, "Well. This is preparing them for a job where they have to sit and mindlessly do what they're told." They don't want to face that those jobs average around $1/hr in the global labor market.

I have read this is an educational philosophy-- the faculty makes some kind of hand gesture, and the students are supposed to respond with some postural response.

I completely condemn the idea, but my understanding is this might be a common practice, not an anomaly of one overbearing principal.

I am livid that no parents were initially around to see this crap! when my kids were in elementary I was peeing all over that school in the name of "volunteerism" to know what was going on. That principal better be kneeling to the parents when that meeting happens-wait-maybe schools no longer have PTAs? gasp!
