Child and Youth Care Workers said this......thoughts for talk 10

1.  Two boys bleeding at the mouth........ " I wanted to hit their shoulders to beat the demons from them, but they dodged and I hit their faces.... I didn't mean to hit their faces "

2.  Staff Meeting - to discuss the introduction of breakfast as a meal prepared, mainly by the boys and in the kitchens attached to each house, as against a meal in the centralised dininghall.
ME:  " The  boys must be given a choice of two cereals, hot and cold"
CCW " Sir, you don't bring up children like that..... you don't give a choice - they have what you give them"

3.  CCW  " If you don't give this boy a merit blazer for his contribution in the Home - I'll resign"
     ME:  But a merit blazer is for performing at Provincial level and he isn't provincial standard"
    CCW  " I resign"

4  ME  " We have to use fresh milk for the boys, we can no longer use powdered milk mix"
    KITCHEN SUPERVISOR " Sir, If i'm over budget, you will be to blame"

5. CCW to the boys in his House...... " OK guys this is the deal.... You come to Homework (prep) in the afternoons so that when Mr Lodge does his rounds and checks up, you are all present. Then, I'll close my eyes if you don't get back to the house at the cut off time (curfew) on a Saturday night......... just don't get caught.... that's all  !!"
