Case: Parents Who Are Friends With Your Colleagues
There is this particular parent who is friends with another teacher on the hall. A select number of students are chosen from each team to participate in POWER (Girls' STEM Program). The parent sends an email expressing her desire for her child to be a part of the program because her cousin is a part of the program. The teachers on the team assure the parent that the maximum number of students have been selected and the child cannot participate. The teacher down the hall gets an extra form and gives it to the student without talking to any teachers on the team. How would you handle the situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
As teachers, we have to ensure that we remain erhical and fair for the sake of our students. They look for consistency from their teachers, and when that is altered they feel inferior. For this particular case, I would personally talk to the teacher one on one and explain the severity of being fair and consistent towards the students, and encourage her to not display such favoritism again. |

Comments: It's always wise to speak to the teacher first. Then, if she continues to follow through, report it to the principal. |
