Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Student from split family I once had a student whose parents were divorced. She lived part time with mom and part time with dad. This student didn't know if she was coming or going. She rarely had her homework and hardly ever returned things to school that needed to be brought back. This was not the child's fault. It was the fault of the parents because of a lack of communication. How do you handle a situation such as this? Do you punish the child for not being prepared and not returning things back to school signed? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think a parent teacher conference is needed. Maybe with both parents at one time so that everyone is on the same page. It doesn't have to be a therapy session but just so both parents know what is expected of both of them and maybe write a schedule down for what they need to help with.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree with you and think that a parent teacher conference is needed.
