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!)
It seems like the parent is creating an excuse for her child instead of making him accountable foe his work and education. I would post the rubric for each major assignment on your teacher website. Have students to get the a signature that parents have read and understood the expectations of the assignments. |

| Comments: I think by the tenth grade the student should not have to get a signature from the parent. They should be completing every assignment on their own. |

| Comments: I don't know if this would necessarily help the situation because some students may not get their parents signatures and also what would happen if a parent did not understand the assignment? |

| Comments: i do not agree with this solution because one students parent should not affect everyone else work. |
