[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, but this demonstrates that the lame duck Sidwell college counseling director is a prima donna:

:'While I often arrive at the office well before 8:00 a.m., [b]that does not mean a parent should ever be waiting for me in the vestibule,[/b] parking lot, [b]or outside my office door,[/b]" Gallagher wrote.

Experienced teachers and staff know that if a matter is urgent, a parent may stop in before school to try to have a quick word or set a later time to talk.  While I agree about not lurking in the the parking lot, the rest is silly and indicates a certain stubbornness and frankly a lazy approach to engagement on the part of the writer.[/quote]

You are absolutely incorrect. What on earth is so urgent (and would only take a minute) that you'd have to stalk someone's office door, lurk in the shadows of a parking garage, or hijacking their personal space? That just reeks of wealthy entitlement. How about treating them as professionals, respecting their time, and making an appointment? [/quote]

You are the one that is off base.  That is not hijacking personal space, it is dealing with someone who doesn't respond to e-mails.  How bout them doing the job their paid for in the first place.[/quote]

Our family worked with Patrick and we NEVER had an issue with him seeing us or taking extra time to work with our DC. Maybe that’s because we treated him with respect, didn’t try to sabotage other students, acted like grown-ups and didn’t stalk him in the parking garage. [/quote]
