Exploitation is such a judgemental term when used in common speech. It's part of the favourite game of media, "Are you a bad parent? Well, at least you're not as bad as these parents … " Who are we, who know nothing of these kids and parents, to say that it's inapproriate for them to be performing, being a part of their parent's lives? Whose to say that it isn't a family endeavour? Many families have their kids grow up in the family business, just that most of us don't have to do it as publically as the Irwins, the Fields or even the Jollie-Pitts.
There's enough judgement being handed out in the world today, homeschoolers sure experience plenty of it. We wouldn't want to be judged on a remark or a photograph or by a passing stranger who thinks they know what we're about. We shouldn't do the same to these guys either.
