Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Inappropriate Comments from a Parent At the school I teach at there is a parent that is consistently walking their student all the way to the classroom and shares very unwarranted, unwanted and inappropriate comments with a few female teachers in the building. They are all choosing to just ignore him/hide from him when they see him walking down the hall. What would you recommend I do about the situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would approach the parent and kindly tell him that some of their comments made to other teachers, especially female, are not appropriate for the school environment. If this does not work and the parent continues to make inappropriate comments then I would report him to administration. Since, it doesn't seem that this is a parent of one of your students then I would try not to get too involved. Another possible solution could be you talking as well as the teacher that teaches the parent's child.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would never do this!

You have no idea who he is or what he might do, so its not worth getting into the problem by yourself. Get an administrator or SRO and let them know what is going on. Always make sure you are safe. You don't want to put you or your students in danger.

I would not try this solution.

The administration should address the parent.

He may just come back with an even harsher comment. Administration and maybe even officials will need to be involved.
