[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For 8 years I brought in homemade chili to my kids school. But it bothered me that I never got one thank you. And when I used to go into to volunteer making copies or helping in computer lab the teachers were not friendly. If my coworkers or neighbors were like that I would call them rude. Maybe years of being under appreciated. Just very strange to me the overall attitude, not every teacher, a few were polite but more were not. Now kids in high school and middle school and teachers seem to be normal/friendly.[/quote]

Maybe your chili isn't that good. Or maybe the teachers at that school just aren't chili fans. Or maybe elementary teachers are overworked and are "in the zone", especially when they're in the copy room and trying to figure out how to make their copies on a barely functioning machine, go to the bathroom, shovel down part of their lunch, contact a parent and attend a mandatory data chat before picking their class up from the cafeteria.

Or maybe they're just all rude people. Or maybe you feel you deserve everyone to fawn over you for making a pot of chil and volunteering a few times a year. Do you expect accolades every time you do something nice?[/quote]
