[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm generally quite lenient towards people who are visibly stressed and temporarily raise their voice, unless their words are really unacceptably nasty and personal. What matters is that there are no lasting animosities or rudeness when everyone has calmed down after each event.

It seems to me that if there was a particular person who was habitually and unpardonably rude, parents would have complained to the school administration and the PTA already, and efforts would have been made to exclude them from further volunteering.

We had such a person in our PTA, who turned out to be suffering from a psychotic break. She was promptly ousted, to rest and seek help.

If this is the case, then you need to get a group of parents to consult with the PTA President and Principal, for the good of the families who are coming behind you. Unless the person in question is also leaving the school this year, in which case it's a moot point.

OP here. I love this idea. I do (personally) get thrown off when people lose it. (My own issue.)

I mentioned to a friend who was recently told off by another volunteer that the rant sounded like what someone who is in conflict with others in their life would say. Maybe an ex, maybe their own kid, maybe their boss..... but it can be rough out there in the carpool line!!!!![/quote]

I can't imagine anyone telling off another parent in this scenario? Is this a real thing? What school is this? [/quote]
