    It was so wrong for Abby to bring Chloe up and diss her in the middle of nowhere. I mean, it's great Maddie's being homeschooled and all, but if she wasn't, Abby wouldn't be pushing the girls to do it as well. Dance doesn't necessarily come before school. Rather, it shouldn't in most cases - with dance you can get a back injury and suddenly all your career plans get smashed, but an education will never fail you for your career.

    If Melissa wants their kids to be homeschooled, good. If the other moms don't want that for their kids, perfect. But if you want your kids to get more private lessons, them pay for it and make time. Maddie did it and is getting better, the other kids don't but they still go to school. You can't have it all and be mad at someone for having things you don't when you enjoy things they also lack of

      It should also be noted that an education is just as important as dance. What if Maddie can't dance anymore and she needs a solid career? Nobody will care that she was a "famous dancer once upon a time"; they want to know what education and skills she can bring to a job.

      +emely rodriguez She's also insulted Jojo about homeschooling. Abby will say anything she wants to. I don't appreciate it because it puts homeschooling in a bad light. I was educated at home but my whole life wasn't dance, acting, music videos, public appearances and a reality tv show! Maddie is worn out. She's not being protected, socializing properly, how about just hanging out or playing? One of the main purposes of homeschooling is so you can have a more well rounded life and a great education at the same time.

But at the same time they rag on Melissa and her kids precisely for "going for it" and putting in all the extra time/sweat to do so, That is called DEDICATION!!!

    I hate how people get on Maddie for homeschooling! It is obvious she is a very smart girl, intellectually and in many other ways. If the other moms cared about making their girls exceptional dancers, they would homeschool too. They act like dance shouldn't be their life, and for Maddie dance is her life. And what is wrong with that. Nothing.

    • @whynot6353
      @whynot6353 4 года назад +4

      All of the girls that even have a small shot at being on Abby lee millers team HAVE to be exceptional dancers. They wouldn’t be working for Abby if they weren’t. Plus, if someone isn’t homeschooled that doesn’t make them a bad dancer. It just means they don’t spend as much time at the studio as another kid might. It’s the moms choice if she wants to homeschool her child or not. If I were a dancers mom, I would send them to public school so their entire life doesn’t revolve around dancing and they get to interact with other kids that aren’t on their dance team. You saying that dance should be their entire life is just crossing the line. They are allowed to do other things and have other hobbies. You don’t have a say in anything that they want to do with THEIR lives. It’s not up to you. If the want to dance, they are allowed to dance. If they want to do something else, they are allowed to do something else. Maddie had her entire childhood taken away just for dance. A kid should be able to live a good childhood, but Maddie’s childhood consisted of: drama, people hating on a 8 year old girl just because she dances better than her, having a camera everywhere you go so you aren’t left alone, having panic attacks for forgetting a dance, worrying that your teacher will hate you, being the favorite and having the other moms and girls hate you because of abby, always having to memorize a solo every week, having the stress of keeping up etc. I feel like this show just takes away kids childhoods and ruins the way they look at things. Honestly, in my opinion, all kids should have gone to public school. So they can have time away from having to be perfect all the time.

They want the fame, so they're willing to sacrifice for it. The other moms aren't but they still want the fame. Ridiculous. Once they signed up to join the show dance should become their whole life. Otherwise don't sign the contract.

    "I just want my kids to grow up normal, not just having dance be their entire life." After hearing this from both Kelly and Christi they have absolutely no right to be upset about all of the amazing opportunities that Maddie gets with dance over their girls because they clearly don't want it as bad as Maddie. They said it themselves, "I want to be normal. I don't want dance to be my whole life." This is why Maddie is soaring above the rest as far as improvement and staying on top because she dances all day every day. This girl is gonna go so far. You go Maddie! :)

    This show makes homeschooling look like a bad thing, I have been homeschooled since 2nd grade and honestly I would have never been the way I am today If I went to regular school. (I'm also not saying regular school is a bad thing either)
    What I'm saying is, is that I would have never been doing the things I'm doing right now. Spending alot of time with my family and also myself has helped me. I wouldn't have gotten over my fear of the ocean and I wouldn't be out there surfing. I would have never found my love for horses and wouldn't be taking lessons. spending time with my self has helped my find myself too. If Maddie wants to dance than so be it.

      Home school have nothing to do with intelligence. Home school is more focus on the individual needs. If a kid say he or she wants to compete in the Olympics when they grow up he or she will have to train early to be the best of the best.
      There are many home school kids attending college before they become 18 years due to the fact there home school lessons is more concentrate on what they want to do.
      Also if you look at history many master of a skilled trade started their training as kids and they work and eat and sleep their practice.

    There is nothing wrong with being homeschooled, however, education is more important than dance class. You never know what could happen.

Dance should be the backup, not the other way around.

She has been getting lots of call backs, and has already done a sketchers commercial. The difference between Maddie and the other girls, is that Maddie plans to do dance for the rest of her life.

      What Melissa is doing is the same basic goal of any other parent. She wants her child to succeed in life. Many of the thing learned in school end up forgotten. What you really need is just the basics needed for what you want to do with your life. For her, dance instruction is the most important thing. For me, I would like to things like Cirque du Soleil and teacher. So, I need to know how to run a business and the many aspects of baton twirling and other novelties. I still choose to take a lot of courses at PA cyber.

    No one is saying home schooling is bad. It is actually really good since kids get the teachers full attention so they learn quicker. The problem here is that Maddies life isn't normal like other home schooled kids. When she isn't homeschooling she's at dance 24/7, whereas the other girls use their time in school to hang with friends and they have something normal in their lives. Tbh Melissa and Abby keep saying Maddie is happy but everytime we see her she doesn't seem too happy. I think I once remember her saying school is her normal part of her life. I just hope Maddie truly is happy, because at the end of the day this is her life, not Melissa or Abbys

    I don’t get why they’re giving Melissa a hard time. If Melissa wants her kids to homeschool, that is her choice. “It’s not an even playing field.” You’re right! You are 1000% right. It isn’t. That’s the beauty about life. No two people live the exact same life. No two people are given the exact same chances. That’s why you’re taught to take what you have in life. You can either work hard and make something of it, or whine and complain about what everybody else has.

She has the great gift of being able to show emotions beautifully on stage. She has the ability to really tell stories with her face and body. Where Chloe is more of the ballerina. She has beautiful long delicate features. She has very graceful features and is in a way more dramatic. This is why I think they shouldn't have been 'rivals' they are both so beautiful and unique on their own special ways. It's really what you prefer that puts them to first and second. I believe the reason why Abby praised Maddie more is because she preferred Maddie's style to Chloe's it's really a shame that Chloe didn't join a actual ballet school. She may have grown as more of the dancer then she is now.

    School comes first, but at Maddie’s level she should be doing ballet more than ones a week. Also the moms can’t blame Mellisa for what Abby dose

    i really understand melissa in this video because it’s a different family and maddie being homeschooled really is giving her a leg up and if the other moms wanted to give their kids legs up then they would. so for the moms to say it’s not fair that maddie’s homeschooled, well that’s not maddie’s fault.

    why do the moms even care??? All they do is Judge and its sick... Maddie wants to dance when she grows up so she needs to focus on that, not saying she cant go to school and have good grades but all the other girls dont want to spend their life in dance and thats why Abby spends more time with her becasue she knows that Maddie wants it more then the other girls. If a fan that watches dance moms says that they all want to work as hard the same way then they are lying. Every single one of those girls are talented at dancing but Maddie is working so hard to get to the tops of the Dance level because this is what she wants to do when she grows up. If maybe Chloe wanted to go into all dance all the time when she grows up then i am 100% positive Abby would give the exact attention to Chloe. And that is just sad because they all are working hard but abby knows that Maddie wants it.

    homeschooling does have some benefits, BUT in reality, unless you are on something like dance moms, making money dancing on a tv show and are famous, unless you are doing that, then school should always come first, education is important, what if they suddenly break a leg and can't dance? they should still focus on getting an education and work on setting college as a goal.

MacKenzie is making music and doing a bunch of little things that are really adding up. plus both have been on TV shows and have big RUclips channels. plus the whole MacKenzie Annie Hayden thing really helped get her name out there they are doing great things because of home schooling.

    I don't see why people are judging Melissa for pulling her children from public school to focus more on dance. Maddie has a very good chance at becoming a professional dancer so she should focus more on dance. It just depends on the child.
