[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a teacher nearing retirement age.  Yes I've seen an awful lot of grumpy secretaries over the years.  But those women have to deal with so much crap and make a very low wage.  I've seen parents swear at them, ignore them, threaten them and generally be disrespectful.  On a daily basis.  I can't really blame them.  [/quote]

And what kind of life does that buy you around here??

These people are not your servants.[/quote]
I'm a waiter and I make $24k. You don't see me treat people the way front desk secretary has treated me. I rarely even go into the office, and rarely meet teachers as my kid doesn't need hand holding.
One time I sat in the office for 30 minutes waiting the secretary to call DC out of class so I could go to an appointment (reminded her 3 times that I was still waiting); one time she questioned me living IB to NW school (I bought the condo and we lived in it), and one time she told me my kid needed to get tested for English as it must not be his first language (I'm an immigrant). Luckily DC's former teacher heard it and said that there was zero reason to get the kid tested. He has been in school several years by then and English was the only language he spoke. I don't know is she tries to be the eyes and ears of the school, but if DC needed English remediation, this would have come out years ago.[/quote]
