Case: The Invisible Parent
Ms. Bishop has a parent that is virtually non-existent when they receive phone calls, emails, and letters about their child's progress or disciplinary issues. However, when deficiencies and report cards go home and their child has a poor grade the parent suddenly appears and makes a grand appearance ranting and raving about their child. How does Ms. Bishop get this parent on board at all times in a school where there really is no parental involvement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Hello,
I am currently experiencing the same thing with one of my students who has ADHD. Unfortunately, the parent did not inform me of his disability until 2 months into the school year. After complaining to my principle that her son is not doing well in my classroom, I invited her to come observe/volunteer at her convenience. I have incorporated numerous accommodations for the student and continued to keep her informed while waiting to have a 504 Plan put in place for the student. Even with the student doing better academically and behaviorally, the mother is still unhappy.
In order to ensure that the parent is content, continue doing what you are doing to inform the parent and keep all documentation! Also, make sure that you document what you are doing to assist the child's academic success. Finally, I began sending my principal "FYI" emails regarding the student just in case she is involved in the situation. |

| Comments: It is unfortunate that the parent still isn't happy. Creating the FYI email to your administrators in a great idea and forms a paper trail. This is important when issues arise and lets your superior know as well as what the feedback is from the parent. It is difficult to get this in order so late in the school year. The information should have been given sooner which would have benefited the child and other students in the classroom. |

| Comments: FYI emails to your principle are a great idea, you can't go wrong with covering your bases. The parent clearly wants their child to do well, but she might be extremely busy and unable to respond to letters and emails. That doesn't mean they aren't reading them. |
