The first thing that the pastor said was that this was a covenant Christian school. As a covenant school parent, she signed a form in the beginning of the application process that she would follow a certain set of values and behavior which the school considers consistent with the teachings of Christ. In other words, SHE AGREED TO THE SCHOOL'S RULES BEFORE THE CHILD EVEN WAS ACCEPTED.

Notice that they have not judged her (or her child) but only her occupation. They have offered to help her find other work and make the financial transition to a lifestyle they consider appropriate for a school parent. FOR WHATEVER REASONS (AND THE LURE OF MONEY IS AMONG THEM), SHE HAS CONTINUED TO CHOOSE THIS LIFESTYLE. IT IS HER CHOICE TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE A POOR ROLE MODEL FOR HER DAUGHTER. THIS IS CONTRARY TO THE SCHOOL'S COVENANT.

Finally, does she really think that she's doing her daughter a favor when some guy comes up to her in public and tells her what a hot bod she has? This is "good mothering"?

WWJD? I think that he would act in the same compassionate, patient manner the school did. The sins of the parents may or may not be visited upon the child, but inevitably, the selfish choices and hypocritical values of this mother will be.
