  Case: Aggresive students
An aggressive student has been moved to your self-contain MOID classroom. You are familiar with the student and have taught this student previously in elementary school. The reputation of this student has been circulated and you are now receiving multiple calls from concerned parents who want to schedule a meeting to discuss a student that is not their own and who you cannot discuss with parents without breaking confidentiality laws. There is potential danger to the students peers but, you are sure with proper staff support and education you can keep everyone safe. Knowing that teachers do not choose who they are asked to teach and that EVERY student has the right to an education in the least restrictive environment, how will you convey this to concerned and angry parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would stress to the concerned parents that I understand their concern but as a teacher I would never put their child in harm and just like I would never discuss their child with any other parent due to confidentiality laws, I will not address any other child with them. If they are concerned with any issues with their child, I will be more than happy to discuss those with them. I would try my best to be reassuring them to the concerned parents. Do not shut them out but do not discuss anything with them that does not concern their child. Reassure them that you do have their child's best interest at heart. And that you are always there for questions.

Comments: This is great! This way the parents feel heard and also reassured. It's better to have the parents feel secure in their child's safety rather than worrying over another child's actions.
