Case: The Uncooperative Parent Sandra Hall*, a high school art teacher, received a call from the mother of one of her students. The mother requested an extension on her daughter's art project. The project was due the same day as an Advanced Placement exam, which the mother considered a higher priority. Ms. Hall said she could not make an exception for the student. Displeased that Ms. Hall refused to honor her request, the parent scoffed, "This is art, not brain surgery." in a phone conversation with the teacher. How "as a teacher" would you follow up after this statement? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If there was a late work policy enforced by the school or in the art class, I would remind the parent of those rules. If applicable, I would let the parent know that late work can be accepted with a penalty of a certain number of points off the grade. Finally, I would ask the parent to be respectful of all subject areas or refrain from sharing negative comments. |
