All the children should be able to speak freely with a counselor without having to worry that they will have to deal with or be punished by angry parents/grandparents when they get home. There are kids that need to talk but are afraid to. Just feel this should be brought to someone's attention that truly cares about the children. Please consider available options for bad home life situations!

I am very unsatisfied at the behavior I just witnessed trying to pick my child up from a 8pm field trip. As I was stopped with about a four car length from me to the car in front of me because my child was walking to my car she informs me to pull up and lose the gap. I said my son is right there. Guess she had a long day or didn't want to acknowledge me. She again told me to move ahead as she see's my son pass she tells him there you go just get in. Then I said I was just getting my son, she mouthed off something like well good or good for you. It was like talking to a teenager. Very immature attitude for someone that works with kids. Other than that incident the teachers are very nice and respectable to me and my kids.
