A former high school principal, Ms. Hutchinson resigned suddenly and went back to England for an extended visit with her family there and to settle the estate she was left. she returned almost six months later with “some friends” and announced the opening of a “new and traditional” form of tutoring and *minding* service for *children* from high school age through their senior year in college.She advertised to the public, and worked out contract arrangements with the school board, to handle and correct those special *discipline cases* that the parents and teachers couldn’t *handle*.Within a short few months, Ms. Hutchinson was contemplating an expansion of her facilities and broader application of her services.Harried parents and teachers were delighted at the *results* she was able to obtain in the relatively short time she was in operation. She called it “a labor of love”.The big surprise in her operation was, how many former high school students, some who now attend college, were brought to her for some sort of “corrective measure”. Summertime proved to be even busier than during the school year. She attributed that to the fact that young people had too much *unsupervised* free time. Her *Minding* service saw to a sudden drop in that factor.When her clients, or rather the *enrollees* [the formerly *difficult* students and children of the actually charged clients] were approached for comment, not a single one would issue an official statement. There was quite a bit of deep blushing and some even began to actually cry. But most (if not all) were “tight lipped” when it came to an actual description or a *detailed* explanation of methods and procedures of this unique service. So effective was her [Ms.Hutchinson’s] approach to “behavioral management”, that, when the *word* got out, even the “threat” that there was a possibility to be sent to her, an immediate change of demeanor and attitude was observed.The former high school principal, it could be said, “really *Hit* on something here”. Unfortunate for those sent to her, that *Hit* was applied to some exposed and tender bottom tissue. -- source link
