[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]

While I am in the camp of "not OK to lurk and accost anyone in a parking lot" are there that many parents at Sidwell that behave like this that it becomes necessary to call the behavior out in a letter to the class?  In fact the whole letter seems a little heavy handed.  How many times does something like this really happen?[/quote]
