[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are dealing with volunteers. They have varying levels of investment in the process. Many may also have become disillusioned, because their input has such a minimal impact. BUT, I do agree that this is not respectful to your child, for whom this feels like a very high stacks moment.[/quote] I agree, but I also think the child was far more disrespectful in hanging up on the interviewer. That was an arrogant and immature snub. It does not compensate for the lack of respect shown by the interviewer. [/quote] Agree. In life, you have to deal with rude authority figures. Hanging up is not a smart strategy. Teach your kid to manage a situation like that to their advantage. E.g. ask how the game is going, get engaged, or wait it out and then say "hey it seems like a great game, I don't want to distract you, can we try another time?" [/quote] Very smart, and classy. I hope that the other parent did NOT actually praise or support his child for handling the situation the way he did. We don't need more boors in this world, and two wrongs still don't make a right.
