[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am surprised at people who think this was a good approach. Having them sit for a small amount of time to calm down is fine, threatening campers with school work is weird and inappropriate. It’s probably not ideal, but camps are staffed by HS and college kids. If the kids are running around and being unsafe or disruptive, I don’t think it’s that big a deal that a counselor would say something like that.[/quote] Yes, I understand that, my son is an almost 17 year old camp counselor. It's a tough job. However, it's not a normal thing to say - camp's wouldn't assign school work, nor should school work be characterized as a punishment. He has "threatened" to call kid's parents, but I don't view that as a threat since it was something he was considering doing due to the level of the behavior. [/quote]
