It's a shame that for the rest of us with kids in public schools who can't afford private, we have to put up with nasty unprofessional staff who can't be bothered to be polite or be good role models for our kids. I would expect people in a professional position to be able to act professional -- even if they are in a union and can never be fired -- and that means being welcoming to parents and making parents feel good about their kids being in the school. That doesn't seem so hard IMO.[/quote]

It's possible that the staff at your child's school is cranky, irritable, and mean. Alternatively, it's possible that the staff at your child's school senses that you think of public school as something you send your children to if you can't afford private school, staffed by lazy people who can't be fired, and is reacting to you accordingly.

The staff at my children's schools have all been competent at their jobs. Do they greet me with a hug and a muffin? Nope. But I don't expect them to.[/quote]

I'm not the OP. My kids have never been in private school so I doubt the front staff would sense that about me. My kids have been to multiple schools over the years and I know there are many people who work in the front offices that are friendly and professional and welcoming. The ones who are not are unpleasant to most parents, not just me. They're also incompetent when it suits them. It's inexcusable. They should be fired. I don't muffins or a hug, thanks, but I would like to feel welcome in my kids' school. I've felt that at other schools and I miss it.[/quote]
