  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!)
Even though this is becoming an issue, I would just keep telling the parent to speak to the administration. As a teacher, you have to remain neutral and professional regardless of how out of hand the parent may be.
