Today we are going to decide whether Abby was too hard on the kids or not. Do you think Abby Lee Miller is too hard on the kids? Or even the moms?
he first point of perspective is that Abby Lee isn’t too hard on the kids. A lot of people seem to have this opinion. We did a questionnaire to determine the most popular belief, and these were some of the responses. “She was probably just punishing the kids.” another includes, “I don't think she was too harsh on the kids because she was trying to set the kids to be the best they can and pushed them to their best potential and if the girls couldn't handle her coaching then they should have found a new dance team. That also includes the parents.” one other one is “No, I don't think she was too hard on the kids. Personally, I think that Abby is very strict with the parents, it has nothing to do with the kids. She thinks all the kids are amazing. She just has to do her job and have everything in line and ready for the competition. I think she is very kind towards the kids, but not so kind towards the parents. She has to be that way so the parents can get their act together. Now I think most parents are rude but other people might say differently. So no, I do not think that Abby Lee Miller is harsh on the kids, at least not as much as the parents.” As you can see a lot of people agree with the ideology that Abby Lee isn’t too hard on the kids.
On the other side of the argument that Abby Lee Miller is too hard on the kids. People also seem to have this opinion more than the first question. We got some more quotes for this question to determine which side of the argument has more opinions, and here were what some people said. Although I do believe that children and students should have challenges and difficulties along the way, I do not think that it is fair for her to be so harsh on the kids to the point they start developing problems on a daily basis and begin experiencing high stress. I think the fact she pushes them is good and it helps them grow but there must be boundaries. No one can be perfect and I think that is what her goal is but her ways of doing it are unacceptable.” another says, Most of Abby's kids were around 11-12 years old. Yet, she expected them to know everything without ANY mistakes. I know she wanted them to be great, but she also favored Maddie the whole time and left the other girls out of dance. Abby even threatened the original girl’s spots on the team, even though they won almost every time. Abby then brought in a new team just to make the girls feel replaced. They all turned out to be great dancers and people in general. Just I don't think Abby did it all. She destroyed them mentally and sometimes even physically, working them to death. That is why I think Abby Lee Miller was too harsh on her kids.” This one includes, Though the way she coaches them will help them succeed, they could be so much happier and perform the same if it was a kinder and more understanding environment. The girls she focuses on are fairly young, they may not know how to deal with that kind of stress.” and last one gives, “I think that Abby Lee Miller is way too hard on kids because she judges them on looks more than how they actually perform and she makes almost every kid quit the dance company.” Now, after all those quotes, you can see that all those people really show why and give great reasons. So you see, many people believe that Abby Lee Miller is too hard on her kids.
