Case: When the parent gives up...
I have been working in a Title I school for quite some time now. While working in the school, I have seen many situations that have caused me to question my effectiveness in the classroom as well as my purpose as a teacher. More specifically, classroom management is an important aspect within this school due to the large amount of at-risk students. Nevertheless, there was a particular student within the classroom that had been quite a challenge for me for a while. I had tried numerous positive intervention activities and implementations that I was sure would change this student's behavior. However, none of these interventions prevailed. Therefore, the principal, myself, and the other academic educators that taught the student along with me decided to set up a meeting with the parent of this child. Upon meeting the parent of these student, my initial opinion of the mother was that she would be very supportive of our efforts in creating positive behavior of this particular student. However, after each teacher gave their account of the student's negative behavior and the teachers' failed attempts to effectively help the situation, the parent replied, "I wash my hands of him". You can only imagine my thought process at this point. As a educator, what would be your efforts concerning the student's behavior after the meeting moving forward?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
That is so sad, but it really happens a lot in the communities like that. I recently talked to a parent who was the same way. It is important to let the parent know that you are not giving up on the student, and to tell the parent the positive you see in their child. You need to make sure you are giving positive feedback with this student even when it is hard. You will have to this student's positive role-model if the parent has given up. |

| Comments: Very important to not give up just because the parent has! If the student knows at least one person out there does care and believes in them, it can make all the difference. |

| Comments: This is a great solution. It is important to also point out all of the positive things the student is doing even when it is hard to find them. Parents dont want to be bombarded with the negative all the time. |
