Case: The Questioning Parent
I teach 10th grade and there is a parent who emails be after EVERY assignment, questioning why her son received the grade he did. I provide various forms of feedback for my students that include rubrics, detailed feedback, checklists, organizers, etc., so it is easy to see and understand the point breakdown. How do I get this parent to trust my grading procedures and politely tell her to only contact me with serious concerns. I have also asked her to have her son see me after class when he has questions, but that has never happened. It appears that she likes to dominate the conversation regarding his performance in class and my grading.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would set up a face-to-face conference with her. Sometimes, things can get misconstrued through email. This will give you a chance to talk to her about your concerns and she can talk to you about hers. Hopefully after this conference, she will see that you are fully capable of doing your job. |

| Comments: I think having a parent-teacher conference would be a great idea. A face to face meeting will give you the opportunity to explain your grading procedures and provide her with any additional information. Also, it will allow her to express her concerns and ask any questions. This should help with the emails moving forward. |
