[quote=Anonymous][quote]But, I am still interested in the 'terrible position' the PP refers to.

I thought an earlier poster explained it quite succinctly. Are you not familiar with the "boy who cries wolf" reference, then? If you are the parent who constantly picks, pounces, and complains, the admin WILL come to view you as a pest. They will not take you seriously, and this puts you at a disadvantage because your complaints will carry less and less weight, and will be taken less seriously. If something "really bad" happens, you will not be considered a reliable voice. (And yes, my principal most certainly DOES laugh at the handful of ridiculously intense helicopter moms who blight his inbox on a daily basis. This doesn't mean he doesn't reply to them, but he certainly doesn't take them seriously).[/quote]

No, this doesn't explain the 'terrible position'.  You've provided no real life examples.  A 'terrible position' is where I have documented my attempts to bring an issue to the attention of the school and have not gotten timely responses and/or appropriate attention.  But, it's not me in a 'terrible position'.  It's the teacher and/or principal.  While you and your principal may not consider me a 'reliable voice', an independent 3rd party does.   :lol: [/quote]
