Case: The Gifted Parents
A studnet in Mr. Smith class has always done well but has never showed any interest in or talent for a gifted program that is offered by the school. The child's parents are telling Mr. Smith that they want him to recomend their child be put into this program because they were both gifted as is his older sibling. Mr. Smith wants to do what best for the child but not to be yelled at by the parents. Should Mr. Smith put he recomend the child for the gifted program?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Hello MePyJy,
I believe that it is important to establish a positive interaction with the parents. I think that there needs to be a conference held between Mr. Smith and the parents of the "gifted" child. In this conference Mr. Smith needs to make it known that he respects the parents and their concern for their child. Secondly, Mr. Smith must be prepared to outline the school's criteria for the gifted program. Next Mr. Smith needs to provide documentation and work samples from the student proving that he is or is not ready or does not qualify for the gifted program. Finally, Mr. Smith needs to reassure the parents that he believes in their son and his education. Mr. Smith needs to focus the overall conversation on what will be in the best interest of the student, and his continued success in the classroom. |

Comments: Agreed! Documentation and positivity will help to keep the conversation pleasant, and remind the parents that even if the student doesn't qualify this year, that doesn't mean he can't ever qualify. Maybe this student just wants some autonomy, maybe he doesn't want to be just like everyone in his family. Showing the parents the student's test scores and discussing the policies for testing in to the gifted program will equip the parents with the information. They might be disappointed or angry, but this one meeting doesn't decide this student's fate as a gifted child. |

Comments: Talking with the parents would hopefully help earn their respect and providing them with the gifted program guidelines and showing them where their child measures would help them see that their child is in the right place. I would also tell the parents that they wouldn't want to push the child into the gifted program and overwhelm the child if the child isn't ready for it. The last thing teachers or parents would want is for the student to start resenting school because they are overwhelmed. |

Comments: The is a great solution. I think sticking to the actual criteria of the gifted program, and then having their child's test scores or whatever method Mr. Smith will use to evaluate the child, is an excellent way to deal with this issue with the parents. |
