Case: Parents Overstepping Boundaries
I recently emailed a parent about her child not completing her homework. The parent responded and said, "I know. When I dropped her off for Early Bird (our before school program), we looked in her desk and found her homework there". This told me that the parent went in my classroom 1) without my permission and 2) when I was not there. I feel this was wrong. I do not know who allowed them to walk the halls before hours, but other children's information could have been out, the parent could have gone through my things, anything could have happened. I have started locking my doors, and taking the key; I know teachers can be sneaky as well. Am I wrong for going to this extent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
No, you have every right to lock your classroom door. However, I would notify the parent and kindly suggest that they not enter the classroom if you are not there. Frame it in a way in which you are concerned for their safety and protecting the confidental files you may have in the classroom. |

Comments: Framing the statement that you would not like anybody in the classroom without you there for the safety of the children is a great way to politely tell the parent what they did wrong and what not to do again. Good solution. |
