  Case: Parent Knows It All
I had a parent who felt sure she knew exactly what her child should be learning in Pre-K. She would come to me on a weekly basis asking questions and trying to determine why her child was or wasn't learning "this". I gave her a print out of the Georgia Pre-K standards and explained how we used the information to plan. I explained that Pre-K focuses on giving students space to grow socially and learn through experience. This was difficult for her to understand. She still thought the child should be learning more and that I was not preparing him properly for Kindergarten. Needless to say it was a very stressful year. How do you reassure these parents?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think it was great that you gave her the standards, but I think it might be a good idea to evaluate the student and see if he/she needs to be moved up to kindergarten or if they are behind so that she as a parent can make a decision.
