Home | How It Works | Stats Login | Register         Case: Inappropriate Questions from a Parent A parent in our school has approached me multiple times to try and gain information about other teachers and sensitive school related issues. I do not even teach the parent's child, but she is extremely aggressive about asking questions. I have notified my administrator, but nothing has changed. What is the best way to address the issue? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would give her the principles email and ask her to send any questions or concerns to him/her and politely tell her that you have no opinion in the matter.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes 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 think this is a possible solution but not for a stubborn parent. Send them away immediately don't take the time to get an email for them.

I would just calmly explain that you can not talk about those things and that an administrator could be more useful. Rated On: February 20, 2019 3:31 pm Rated By: Meghan Fletcher
