Case: The "But He Can't Fail" Parent
You are a freshman World History teacher, and one of your students has spent an entire school year actively refusing to do his work. You've spoken with his parents at multiple conferences with an administrator present, and sent weekly updates via email to the parents regarding the student's behavior and academic progress. With two weeks left in the school year, you get an email from the mother demanding that all the assignments (even the ones from August) be given to the student so that he may turn them in for a late grade and pass the class. Your school has a policy on late work, and once the midterm mark has passed, students cannot turn in work from the previous semester. How do you respond to the parent?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Let the parent know the school policy and see if you can work with the student on the work they have missed after the mid term. If this is not good enough, let an administrator know the situation and have them handle it or set up a meeting for all of you. |

Comments: The rules are the rules. I agree that if the parent has a problem with the rules, let administration handle it. |
