[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 3619607, member: 16989"] Here's a thought: These kids were pre-chosen because of their good grades. They then had to go through some sort of Talent Evaluation (Mini-American Idol). I really hope all these kids just go back to school after this is all done. My fear is some parent is going to take some casting directors "You kids seems to work very well on camera for this." to mean "This kid is the Best Actor since Brando. This kid should be a movie star." I really hope none of these kids (or their parents) try to parlay this into Child Star Status. I think ay of these kids could turn their "Fifth Grader" Status into a few commercials, maybe even a Guest spot on some CW mid-season replacment series. But I think if any of these kids try to go the Child Star Route, Hollywood's going to eat them alive (as it does with 95%+ of child actors). PS at the mall yesterday I saw a 13 year old girl (I know because here mom was talking to her). Low-Rider Pants. As in "Built in Pencil Holder" It might have only been a Quarter Moon, but it was there for all to see. It had "Juicy" written across the seat. And 3" Heels. And a Halter Top. She was complaining to her mom how she needed a new cell phone. One that took pictures, video, and mathced the one Susie has. And is Pink. Exactly when did parenting become a Request based system as opposed to the Absolute Dictatorship I grew up with? [/QUOTE]
