  Case: Parents that act like their child
I have many young parents that act similar to their children that I am usually calling home about due to some behavior. I have a child who never does homework or returns signed papers. When calling his mother, she said I would need to mail her everything in order to get it back because her son doesn't give her anything. How absurd is this comment? How should I communicate with this parent? Half of the time the phone has been disconnected.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Document, document, document! This will be your best friend when it comes time for any thing that may endanger the child of failing. Ask previous teachers what they have done for this child and their parent, perhaps they found a way to get papers to the parent in a more efficient way. Does the parent have email? Could you take a picture of any papers and then email them to the parent?

Comments: These are great ideas in your solution. I really like how you stress the documentation will be key in this problem as it targets the big picture on how to deal with the problem. Also integrating the idea of emailing the parent the attachment is a great idea too as it is innovative with the technological devices that are available today.

Comments: This solution is best because it finds alternatives to working with these parents and utilized resources like former teachers without having to go to administration right away. It is also important to document any conversations or failed conversations with this parent.
