Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Parent Knows It All I had a parent who felt sure she knew exactly what her child should be learning in Pre-K. She would come to me on a weekly basis asking questions and trying to determine why her child was or wasn't learning "this". I gave her a print out of the Georgia Pre-K standards and explained how we used the information to plan. I explained that Pre-K focuses on giving students space to grow socially and learn through experience. This was difficult for her to understand. She still thought the child should be learning more and that I was not preparing him properly for Kindergarten. Needless to say it was a very stressful year. How do you reassure these parents? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think showing her the standards was a great solution. If the child is successful with mastering all standards, you could provide extension activities that address the skills the parent wanted to cover.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would not use this this suggested solution in my classroom.

Other students might also benefit form some extension activities as well.
