Adventures in Education, Chapter 12

Tuesday, Summer Camp, 10:09am
4th Grade Boys' Swim Lessons

The names have been changed to protect the guilty.

Junior Staff Member: "Dan, we need you to talk to Kenny. He's been swearing in the pool."
Senior Counselor Dan: [Asks child to explain the problem, acknowledges child's frustration, reminds him of the inappropriateness of the F-word at camp, accepts child's apology, accompanies child back to the pool]
Lifeguard: "Thanks, Kenny. We don't talk like that here at camp. I don't really give a sh*t what you say at home, just don't do it here."
