Case: Rude Parents
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class whose mother is very religious. She is very open in discussing her thoughts and beliefs at a conference, in a letter, or during a phone call. Her child misbehaved and was given a punishment for 10 minutes off of recess. The mother contacted the teacher the next day and instead of speaking about the punishment she began her religious banter which included telling the teacher that she was 'keeping her eye on her' and that she needed to 'get right in her religious life.' At one point the parent even sent a link to a YouTube video that talked about how Monster energy drinks are the 'devils juice' because the teacher drinks that brand. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Honestly unless this kind this comes off as offenseive to Mrs. SMith she could just ingnore it for the time being. Mrs. Smith had every right to punihs the child if the acted during her class. If it did offend her or coninutes to happen what she could do is report this parent behavior to the administartion or even think about requesting the child be moved out of her class. The idea of a parent watching her childs teacher isnt totally wrong as if they think they are doing soemthing wrong they should report it but with the way it is put forth here is offputting. The religoius life comment is uncalled for and has no place in a public school becuase Mrs Smith should not be influenced by relgion in a public school setting and the devil juice comment can be ingnored almost completely as it has no basis for anythign in this conversation. |

Comments: I agree with ignoring it. Unless it becomes harassing or offensive, the best option is to just ignore it. The principal should still be notified of the situation, so when/if it does get bad, it can be dealt with swiftly. |

Comments: I would do this, however a report to administration should still be made, so they know what is going on. A parent like that might go to administration herself later on and you want administration to be aware of the issues you are dealing with to better handle anything the parent might do later. |

Comments: There was a comment on this solution by Henry Hobbs that I found very helpful, not this solution in particular. He suggested forwarding all communications to administration so that way they are aware of the situation and to have the teacher remain composed. I think this is an excellent solution. |
