[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Justice Ginsburg said that if you tell the school to call the kid's father at work, they will suddenly call less often and only for true emergencies.  She swore it worked like a charm!  Give it a try!

Your response was good; hers was not.  [/quote]

LOL, mom my always had the school call dad and if there was an issue he'd get us usually as he had more flexibility.  [b]My husband cannot have his cell phone at work so good luck getting him[/b].[/quote]

Does he work in a SCIF? I am sure he has a landline phone. Don't let him off the hook so easily. What would he do if he were a single dad?

Love RBG!!!

OP, here is what I don't get. What was the guidance counselor hoping to accomplish in this call that (1) could be accomplished in a phone call and (2) somehow could not be accomplished in 10 minutes? If she was not asking you to pick up your kid, [b]what exactly was she asking you to do?[/b] [/quote]

OP here.  My son is in K.  The bolded was my problem.  What exactly did she want me to do?  I called her back this afternoon and left am mail and then followed up again with an email.  I told her that I would be happy to discuss the issue further and gave her my availability for the rest of this week.

When my son got home from school, I asked him why he was under the table.  He said people were annoying him and he wanted some quiet time.  He said it was bad because adults kept trying to talk to him and wouldn't leave him alone.  We discussed how in the future if he wanted some quiet time, he needed to tell the teacher first and she would help him find an appropriate space as well as keep other adults away way from him (since an adult would know why he was having quiet time).[/quote]
