[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted yesterday that I thought the other mother's behavior was inappropriate. I still think so. When I've volunteered for lunch duty at my son's public schools, I've actually learned how to handle this kind of stuff better by watching the teachers and other staff - when kids run to them with a problem or a dispute, they really do put the onus on the kids to work things out amongst themselves. It's good for them to learn problem-solving skills, and neither teachers nor parents should be refereeing every dispute among kids of this age. For that reason alone, the OP should mention this incident to the teacher or principal; I'm sure they don't want parents using volunteer duty as a vehicle for fighting battles on behalf of their kids.[/quote]

+1 Even my youngest's preschool teachers do this!  They teach the kids to work it out amongst the selves (a little coaching at such a young age)--but its remarkable how well they do.  At 9--I am appalled the mother stepped in and rather disgusted.  She should be banned from the playground.  By no means should volunteering be used to intimidate your child's classmates.  Grown-up bully.[/quote]
