Case: Sexist Parent
I have a male student that works very well with the other boys in the classroom but when it comes to working with the girls he says a lot of sexist comments such as, "Why do you even try when you're just going to end up in the kitchen." I asked for a conference with the parents and found out that the father has been teaching him very sexist things. He continuously disrespected me and told me that what his son was saying is the truth in the end. His mother was not there and so I felt very uncomfortable and very mad that his father was treating me this way. I have tried contacting the mother to try and get her to come in but she constantly cancels on me and does not respond to any of my emails or notes. What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Obviously the students is getting it from somewhere, and my guess would be at home so a parent conference might not be the best solution, the father proved that point. As a teacher this situation is taking place in my classroom and I would make it my job to stop it. I would suggest doing an age appropriate unit on jobs that people do, male and female. And then pull the student aside and let him know that while he is in the walls of your classroom everyone will be treated equally or there will be consequences. |

| Comments: I agree that the parents will most likely not help as evidenced with the dad, and that you should try and limit it inside the classroom or else there will be consequences. |
