One of the switched students' parents contacted Kasey explaining that she is not happy with the switch. The parent explains that she believes the switch will disrupt the momentum the student has worked hard to build. Kasey Forwards the email to her grade level AP who tells Kasey to respond that the switch was random and the new teacher would be working closely with all previous teachers to meet the needs of all students. The parent responds that she is not happy with the explanation and would like her student switched back. What should be done to appease the parent without being unfair to other requests that were denied? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would ask the new teacher if it would be okay for the parent to possibly sit in on a lesson to show that she is working well with the students. If the parent still does not approve I would have a meeting with the guidance counselor and the parent to see if things could possibly be worked out some how.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: Great solution, but I would arrange the meeting first before the sit in.
