[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 85542, member: 1991"] All I can say is for parents like Kjs, too - you have to keep asking questions, chasing it up - because if they got it wrong, they will want you to forget it. They will not call you up to tell you that you were right, they will hope that if they don't call you, you will forget about it and move on. And especially in this case, Kjs, it won't stop a rabid VP like this one from taking liberties. If they get away with it once, they try it again. Only when they are called on it, confronted in a way that means there is a written record, will they be forced to stop. Because if he does it again once there is a file on this, then he will REALLY have to explain. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times becomes personal. And for VPs like this - once is, "Oh, I didn't mean it, you must have misunderstood." Twice is, "Maybe you misunderstood - again." Three times rarely happens, because they know they're being watched - with YOUR kid. It may happen with other kids, but if their parents don't nag and get picky about it, then it will keep happening with their kids. But if three times with your kid, when it's recorded, acted on etc DOES happen - then the VP will have a lot of explaining to do before a disciplinary hearing. And they know it. Marg [/QUOTE]
