Case: Worried Parents
I have received a few emails from parents concerning their children. The children that they are concerned about are the ones that are well behaved and have outstanding grades. I have high expectations for my students but I feel that the parents are being a bit over-bearing by being concerned about a 90% on a test. It is a wonderful thing that they are involved and expect perfect scores but I am struggling with how I am going to say, "your child is doing fine" without offending them. I feel that they will disagree with me and continue to worry.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Some people are more apt to worrying no matter what. It is not necessarily a negative thing, however it is very little you can do to stop this worrying all together. I would suggest that if you tell the parents that the student did fine but did not receive a perfect score, if allowed, show the parent the rubric or expectations so that they will be able to see the areas that the student would have needed to cover in order to make 100%. So that along with them knowing the student is progressing normally, they are able to pinpoint areas that could be improved upon in their eyes. You could also have the children write in a journal of some sort to explain how they felt after lessons. This could open up conversation between parent and child. |

| Comments: I think this is a great solution because it addresses the issue while also not brushing off the parent's concerns about their child's grades. |
