The parents have been informed that there names will be placed in a random generator and picked from there, but several parents are refusing to allow their students to go with out them, and have even threatened to call the district and complain. How do you handle the situation with these parents?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted October 8, 2020 10:15 pm utyDaW Reps: 200 I would suggest explaining that there are only a few chaperone spots on the trip, but their child is in great hands and will be taken care of. If they do not want their child attending the field trip without them there, do not argue against their decision.

Great input.   Posted on: June 30, 2021 5:30 pm Add a Comment                 Solution 2 Posted September 25, 2020 6:32 pm Nesyhy Reps: 52 You should talk to those parents and try to explain that their child will be safe during the field trip and that those parents going will take good care of them. If this does not work just tell them if they do not want their child to go without them to simply have the child not go.

Another good idea would be to have administration talk with the parents and address their concerns as well.

This is so that admin is aware of the problem that the parents are causing and can get behind you if needed.
