Case: Overbearing/Blaming Parent
I have a parent that did nothing to prepare her child for kindergarten. He could not write, spell his name, recognize letters or numbers, and he couldn't count. He has made remarkable gains and I am proud of him. However, every time I post a grade about something, his mother complains. She feels that he should be reading on a second grade level because the other students in my classroom are reading on that level. I have tried to explain to her that he did not come in with a foundation like the other kids did. She spends her day harassing me and writing my principal. She will find anything to complain about. I even had a meeting with her and my data coach to go over his data with him. What can I do to keep her from harassing me? Please help! I am a new teacher and she is one of the most overbearing people I've met!
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would ask to meet with her one on one, show her the wonderful work that her son has accomplished. Give her other suggestions of ways he can advance further by doing tutoring through games with her or even after school programs at the school if your school has them or in your local community like the YMCA or churches. Stress to her that kids learn at different paces and that she can even do summer school for him or online classes for him if she feels it is necessary. Stay positive and do not let her bring you down or let her bring down the success that her son is having. |

| Comments: Since the parent isn't responding to previous attempts, I think explaining that the student can use other resources to catch up is a wonderful hint that can avoid blaming the parent. |

| Comments: If she is harassing the teacher extremely more needs to be done than just meeting with her. It may be best to include administration. |
