  Case: parent advice
A second grade teacher has a student who has exhibited very disruptive and bad behaviors in previous grades. He has been placed in an inclusion classroom with a very strict teacher who has had success with students exhibiting these types of behaviors. The child has no behavior problems in the classroom. The parent is now confronting the teacher wanting help chaining his bad behaviors at home. What advice should the teacher give to the parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Make sure that the parent understands the home and school environment are completely different and not everything that works for you as a teacher will work for them. That being said, no one is going to be around the student more than their parents and teachers throughout their lives so it can be very beneficial for both parties to have a conversation about the students behavior in each environment and how behavior has been dealt with. Teachers and parents being on the same page is key in student behavior.
