Comment on Why do social workers get upset when you don't want their help?

  I am sorry that you feel this way.

  How I “feel” doesn’t matter here. What matters is if my claims are accurate or inaccurate on a large scale.

  What I say is based on personal experience with voluntary reinforcement classes in a shanty town*, for almost three years, interacting with social workers and the people they work on/with, all the bloody time. And then having enough insight to check for sampling biases (i.e. to check if my views were consistent with the views of other teachers, and people outside my own country. They were).

  *the sort of shanty town that teaches you that, upon hearing gunfire, you should drop on the floor.
