[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure , it’s resource guarding, and happens in parent groups as much as it does is feral dogs and rats. If a good teacher’s contact information gets out to the general public, it gets harder and more expensive to book sessions, not to mention they’re just not such a Special secret any more.

As far as giving info to friends, you could maybe ask if the person would give your info to the teacher if they are uncomfortable giving out the teachers credentials without their permission, but I don’t think that’s the case. [/quote]

Yep.  When I find a good teacher/tutor, babysitter, etc. I don’t share it with random Facebook people.  It is hard to find good services and quality instruction, for anything.  The more people you share with, the harder it is to schedule appts or get the schedule you want for yourself [/quote]

:shock: no, that is a shameful attitude. People with an ounce of kindness share regularly share resources with each other and with anyone who is looking.  [/quote]

I agree. I think the people who hoard are pathetic. I have a kid with sns and one of the moms I helped the most and directed to good tutors refused to share the name of the executive functioning coach she found. I stopped talking to her and think of her as a jerk. Some people are selfish and are more comfortable with taking. [/quote]

Are you confident the executive functioning coach wanted her name shared?

I really feel for parents of kids with special needs because there are SO FEW really excellent resource, but my sister is a SN tutor and she asks her clients not to share unless she has an opening in her schedule already.  The reason is she hates telling parent after parent that she can’t take their kid. Sometimes they’re really abusive on the phone (the woman saying her child “deserves” a tutor is not alone) but more often they’re just so sad and disappointed when yet another lead doesn’t work.  When she is looking to take on new students she asks a couple of the clients she likes the best to mention her to one or two friends.[/quote]
