[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate to be pessimistic but are there other children with that staff member during these sessions? If your child is alone with the adult, my spidey sense is thinking grooming.

Lunch bunches (with multiple students) aren’t uncommon with younger children, but I’d want to know more details about these get-togethers. Honestly, children need to use their recess time to interact with peers and burn off energy.

Don't over think it. Its really quite simple: the school has a union, the teachers who know the kids best don't go outside with them at recess so the so the kids who feel lonely at recess or who are being bullied have no support.

Admin can't change the recess supervision to be more wholesome like most DC Privates have ( young kids in elementary go outside with the own teachers )  because the teacher union is holding Admin to " teacher break time "

Enter the Admin Assistant in the front office who can see the advantage of currying favor with Admin by putting a schmooze bandaid on their lonely kids at recess problem AND he might just get some popularity with parents out of it - heck that's Job security in a Private school.

True, it is all NOT appropriate, the Admin Asst has no education or training in counseling, but what parents should be asking is why Admin thinks that they can pull this one over on parents. Parents who are paying 40 K a year. That kind of blowing smoke should make parents wonder what else Admin is keeping from them about how this school is really run.[/quote]

Wow. You have a really active imagination. [/quote]
