AIBU to think that if a midday assistant at school feels it necessary to shout at my 6 yr old, I should have been informed?

DS came out of class crying saying he had been yelled at by the MDA and he didn't understand why.

He explained to me that there had been a bit if a falling out in his group of friends and she shouted at them.

If my child does something wrong, I am not precious about him and the situation should be death with accordingly by the person in charge. No issue with that. But AIBU to think that yelling is not really appropriate and if the situation is really that bad, I should be involved?? Am a bit cross and have asked the school to clarify the position.

Except that everything about your reaction says otherwise.

My mistake, your posts read as if it was at least a few years ago, I didn't realise it was so recent.

Interesting that he uses a recruitment agency rather than interview them himself. I'd hazard a guess that that's where he's going wrong. A least if he interviews them, the expectations for both parties would be known prior to the offer and acceptance of a role.

He is a fool using a recruitment agency. They normally charge about 10% of the new starters wages. If he wants someone to make his coffee and learn on the job, he is better advertising in whatever local paper/ magazines you have near you.

Especially as all small businesses are feeling the pinch these days. It must be a big worry for you.

I'd say "it is foolish" rather than "He is a fool", Porto. Apart from losing a Mercedes (I think?), I'm sure he's a sensible enough chap. I bet LaQueen has plenty of examples of his good sense it just might take her a while to come up with them

Who do I have to shag to get a coffee round here, anyway?

Thought folk made their own coffee these days. Worked for MNC's and all the bosses got their own coffee.

Evidently not in MLaQueen's company. Otherwise he'd notice at interview that the grad in question was not actually appropriate for the role.

Lumpy, me if you want. You know it would be worth it.

Sorry- I didn't mean to imply that Mr LaQueen WAS a fool. . As a successful entrepreneur I am sure he is far from being so.... I source IT consultants amongst other things so I know first hand what mark up these agencies charge. He is definitely missing a trick though.....

Quite the contrary Porto, if he's managed to lose a BMW, I'd suggest fool comes into it somewhere.

I remember when I was 6 and very sensitive, timid and shy. I loved dancing so mum sent me to a ballet school
We were at the dress rehearsal for a show and I was with others dancing on the stage, when the teacher shouted at me for something I was doing .

I was very upset and told mum I didn't want to go anymore and the reason.

LaQueen maybe you could ask MNHQ what rates they get for recruitment. Huge opportunity for benchmarking! As I am in Belgium it sadly won't work for me - otherwise I could get on at them about hosting costs and servers and the like...

I'm as bewildered as you Coconutty tbh.

Eh?
