All the parents are pathetic. Absolutely shameful.

DH said the same thing when he watched the scene of the kids in nutrition class. I think this is SOOOO true, especially for the younger set.

I love Tanisha! That girl is pure sunshine!!!

I agree that the parents are pathetic--but truly, I think Emily's are the worst. And yeah, all of these parents need to be there losing a few (except the former gymnast and dancer mother, OMG!!!). I felt bad for the 511 girl, (I forget her name). How are you that clueless about your weight. Wow. Her skin looks so bad, I'm looking forward to it clearing up with the improved diet.

I know - it's ridiculous. How can they sit there and send their kids to this school to be "fixed" when they're overweight themselves? That's just the beginning of their terrible behavior.

That's the worst part cuz if the parents aren't changing their lives while their kids are being "fixed" then the kids will just gain it all back and then some. The program should be helping out the parents at home too!
