Unexpected Interview Questions?

[playfelt]

What is meant by "open door policy" is still a big one around here. A parent will ask me if I have an open door policy and before I reply I turn it around and ask them what they mean by that term. For some it means can they pick up early without calling me. For some they seem to think my door will be unlocked in case they want to walk in - can not imagine suddenly turning around and finding a parent standing behind me or one of the kids - too creepy. For one it meant she wanted to be able to walk around the house and peek in the windows at us - whatever - hope the neighbours call the cops on her.

So many parents have heard concepts and buzz words and really don't know what they are asking for or the ramifications of the requests. A lot of educating goes into the interviews especially with the new moms.

OMG I thought open door policy meant being open and honest about how there child is doing!
