[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people who work with kids are shockingly bad at working with kids.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.[/quote]

As someone who has worked with kids my entire career in several different venues (education, recreation, childcare) I would say that there are more people working with kid who shouldn't be that you might imagine.  I would not agree that "a lot of people" who work with kids are bad, that makes it sound like it might be a majority, which it is not.  For instance, years at an elementary school spending time in many classrooms showed me that about 10-20% of teachers are really excellent, around 70% are just fine, and about 10% are really bad and shouldn't be working with kids at all.  What I have never understood is why it is so hard to get those people out.  I think it's mostly the phenomenon that principals used to be teachers themselves and sometimes not very good ones so they have a lot of sympathy for teachers when perhaps they shouldn't.

None of this has to do with Kumon about which I know nothing.[/quote]
+1 unfortunately. I worked at an ES also and the short way some teachers talked to students—as if they’re dumb, troublemakers, or beasts—was really shocking. And the accountability is not there. Whistleblowers get treated badly.
