[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not taught anymore.

I've helped run Girl Scout cookie booths. I'll tell the girls if they want to eat a snack, they need to move away from the table. Their parents will contradict me. "Larla needs a little snack, it's no big deal, she can stay here." I'll tell the girls they need to stand up and present the customer with an attitude of preparedness, rather than be seated and chatting with their friends. Their parents will contradict me. "Larla's tired. We're here for two hours. It's no big deal to sit." I'll tell the girls they can't play under/around the table, if they need a break grab a friend and an adult and go for a little walk. Their parents will contradict me. "No one's buying anything right now, as soon as someone comes up they'll stop."[/quote]

[b]Why are you telling other people's kids what to do.  That's at least as rude as any of the behavior being attributed to kids on this thread.[/b]  [/quote]

It sounds to me like she is there to supervise the girls while they sell cookies.   She's right on all counts in her post.[/quote]
