[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couple thoughts-

You have never yelled at your kid?  Either you or your kid is a saint.  Can't say most of us have not had a cross moment

Most staff that works for aftercare programs- make crap wages, even if those of us that pay for the programs struggle.  Try living in DC on less than $20 or 30 thousand a year.  You might feel a bit cross about life also.

Sometimes you need to yell to get through to a kid that is ignoring you.  Hate to say it, but there are times it is necessary.  Yes I know there is a cultural difference between upper class  my poor child/ lower class deal with it attitudes in DC, but a little empathy both ways may be a good idea. [/quote]

I agree. I just saw a befor-care staffer "yell" and approach a kid yesterday morning. But you know what? The little boy was being acting rotten and disrespectful and he didnt do as he was told until she raised her voice and refused to let him walk by. His demeanor was what took me aback. Why are we raising kids who feel comfortable being disrespectful to adults? He had this attitude like "You're not a real teacher so therefore I don't have to respect you as such." Maybe it rubbed off from his parents?[/quote]
