[quote=Anonymous]Hi, first time poster here. I have a quick question. My 6th grader who is a regular tween has been having interactions all year that are in my opinion unacceptable. Staff is repeatedly rude to her and her peers. I have witnessed it on three occasions (teacher was rude to other children) and have a dozen more stories i have heard from my kid and two have been corroborated by the administration. I have also heard the stories from her classmates at out of school events and gatherings.  SO i know this is happening. I have also had experiences with her teacher specifically that in my opinion was extremely rude.  I am just wondering if my expectations are too high.

if you heard the way the staff including the assistant principals speak to these kids blindfolded you would think they are talking to inmates. They often yell (A LOT) and single kids out in front of the classroom for things that shouldn't be an issue. I understand that teachers and school staff are dealing with kids and it is stressful. I understand that there are a lot of these kids they have to deal with but is it too much to expect that the staff engage with them with a  little kindness and respect?  Is it too much for the teachers to engage with the parents with some professionalism?
