  Case: The Invisible Parent
Ms. Bishop has a parent that is virtually non-existent when they receive phone calls, emails, and letters about their child's progress or disciplinary issues. However, when deficiencies and report cards go home and their child has a poor grade the parent suddenly appears and makes a grand appearance ranting and raving about their child. How does Ms. Bishop get this parent on board at all times in a school where there really is no parental involvement?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Record all phone calls, emails, and any other contact you have with the parent. Try to see if an administrator can set up a meeting.
