Case: Rude Parents
Mrs. Smith has a student in her class whose mother is very religious. She is very open in discussing her thoughts and beliefs at a conference, in a letter, or during a phone call. Her child misbehaved and was given a punishment for 10 minutes off of recess. The mother contacted the teacher the next day and instead of speaking about the punishment she began her religious banter which included telling the teacher that she was 'keeping her eye on her' and that she needed to 'get right in her religious life.' At one point the parent even sent a link to a YouTube video that talked about how Monster energy drinks are the 'devils juice' because the teacher drinks that brand. What should Mrs. Smith do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have to agree with some of the posting and say that informing the principle of the current and any future issues is a good idea. However, I think the best way to handle the situation after telling the priniples is just to ignore the parent |

Comments: I agree with you. That way, the principal is fully aware of the situation and can deal with it, and the teacher can just go back and continue focusing on her teaching. I will, however, say that the teacher should always let the principal know if the parent said something else. That way, the principal can be in the loop of if it gets out of hand or not. |

Comments: I do not think it is appropriate to choose to ignore the parent even with their inappropriate behavior. Clearly, you will still have to be the student's teacher which means you have to communicate with the parent as it is a part of the students success. I do agree it would be appropriate to get the principal involved. |
