Have you as a parent ever yelled your head off at a teacher?

At a camp director, head counselor when my daughter was sick. It's scary when your child develops fever hundreds of miles away, and you need the camp to be in touch with you, but you can't get through, or they don't give messages (unwittingly).

no way.
I'm just wondering if people find it acceptable.

It's definitely not acceptable! I apologized a few times after that incident. It wasn't typical.

My dh, who taught many years told me it's the worst thing for the child when parents mistreat the teacher. If they would only know...He said he tried very hard not to let it affect his attitude or relationship toward the child in such a case, but it was really not easy.

Tz"ur, I think its different when youre far away and your child is sick. it's a bit understandable.

All of the above, and I was right. It is wrong only if students will hear, if you are assuming or if you are out of control.

Sorry to say I once yelled so loud the whole school heard me - and NO many years later I do not regret it. I think the circumstances unfortunately warrented them to know just how I felf about a school that had no respect for a child. (the principal told my dd that she would be kissing boys and wearing pants when she was 18 and the poor kid was only in 5th grade & 10 yrs old) And thereafter my daughter and I marched out the building never to return.
